Commits e49c0fb04 (unmap: fail if the mapping is currently executing,
2023-05-14) 42be0057a (map: fail if key is currently executing,
2023-06-24) fixed potential use-after-free issues. By doing so,
it broke configurations that in practice have not triggered any
crashes [1] [2].
For example with,
set -remove global autocomplete insert
hook global InsertCompletionShow .* %{
map window insert <esc> <c-o>
}
hook global InsertCompletionHide .* %{
unmap window insert <esc> <c-o>
}
The execution of the <esc> mapping triggers InsertCompletionHide fails
at unmapping. This seems legit and I don't see an obvious alternative
way to write it (InsertIdle would not be correct though it would work
in practice).
Fix the regression by allowing map and unmap again while keeping the
mappings alive until they have finished executing.
Applying map/unmap immediately seems like the most obvious semantics.
Alternatively, we could apply them in between key presses.

When unmapping a key sequence that is currently executing, we continue
executing freed memory which can have weird effects. Let's instead
throw an error if that happens. In future we can support unmap in
this scenario.
