Previously, spelling suggestions were presented with the :menu command,
requiring the user to cycle through wild and fanciful alternatives to get to the
one they wanted. Now, we present suggestions with the :prompt command, which
allows the user to type to filter down the list, and also to customise the
replacement after they've chose it (perhaps to fix capitalisation or add
apostrophe-S).
We also use the mispelled word as the initial content of the prompt. That
filters out the wildest alternatives by default, and allows the user to edit the
original word instead of forcing them to choose from among the suggestions. To
get the full list of suggestions, it's easy enough to just backspace until the
word you want appears in the list.
Ranges specified with a +<length> were inconsistent, with +0 meaning
an empty range, while +1 meant a two character long range (first character
+ the following one). Change that to mean a single character.
Fixes#3479
The first line returned by `aspell` isn't always an identification
string, it can also be an error.
This commit prevents the first line from being ignored in any case,
and allows errors to be reported consistently.

This commit adds a `spell_lang` option that will be used by the
`spell` command when no language is passed to it directly.
Setting a buffer/window local option allows using `:spell` seamlessly
across several buffers, written in different languages.
Due to ambiguity in the POSIX standard, GNU and BSD versions of the `wc`
utility use slightly different whitespace conventions when formatting
their output [1]. When limiting the output to just counting the number
of bytes (as is done by Kakoune when calculating the length of words
for spell check highlighting), the BSD version of `wc -c` has some
additional leading whitespace:
gnu$ printf %s "test" | wc -c
4
bsd$ printf %s "test" | wc -c
4
This leading whitespace needs to be removed before defining the "region"
to highlight, or `set-option` will not be able to parse the given
`spell_regions` and will complain that there are "not enough elements
in tuple." In other words, the region `1.21+8|Error` on Linux ends up
looking like `1.21+ 8|Error` on macOS, which is invalid.
Removing the whitespace could be accomplished in a number of ways, but
using arithmetic expansion [2] is POSIX compliant and does not require
shelling out to another process.
