patch 9.2.0016: popup border not redrawn correctly with wide chars
Problem: When a popup window's border overwrites part of a wide
character from another popup, the remaining half loses its
original attribute (background color) because it is reset to 0.
Solution: Modify screen_line(), screen_puts_len(), and screen_fill() to
preserve the existing ScreenAttrs value when clearing wide
character boundaries. Also ensure background data is refreshed
for transparent popup cells (Yasuhiro Matsumoto).

patch 9.2.0010: Using Wayland compositor is still slow
Problem: Using the Wayland backend in GTK, rendering remains slow due
to per-line redraws, unnecessary Cairo push/pop groups, and
scroll operations that allocate new surfaces repeatedly.
Solution: Improve rendering performance (Christoffer Aasted).
This commit does the following:
- Add gui.is_wayland to detect Wayland backend
- Avoid blocking the input loop
- Skip early redraws; let the compositor handle full-screen redraws
- Use CAIRO_OPERATOR_SOURCE to overwrite instead of blend
- Reuse scroll source region for destination scroll region
- Optimize fast scroll-up
- Remove cairo_push_group/pop_group and cairo_clip in scroll path
to reduce allocations (~50MB saved on 4K fractional scale)
Since Wayland redraws the entire screen between updates (unlike X11),
further performance gains are possible by batching drawing in other code
paths, e.g.:
- message.c: batch lines to avoid scroll
- term.c: batch terminal redraws
These could be refactored later to deferred redraw with Wayland.

patch 9.2.0006: powershell commands wrongly wrapped when executed
Problem: powershell commands wrongly wrapped when executed
Solution: Use &{ ... } to wrap commands when powershell/pwsh is in use
(Peter Lustig).
Allow compound commands with 'system()' when 'shell' is 'pwsh'
When the 'shell' option was set to 'powershell' or 'pwsh' and the
'system()' vimscript function was called with an argument containing two
or more shell commands (delimited by ';' or '&'), the function would
always fail with 'E282'.
The cause of the error was that VIM would wrap the shell command string
with parentheses (to allow the entire output to be redirected to a
temporary file for capturing) before actually passing it to the
PowerShell process for execution.
Unlike the typical shell that uses parentheses to group commands (and
possibly spawn a subshell), PowerShell uses them to resolve a single
command (pipeline) to an expression. To group multiple commands with
PowerShell, you must instead wrap them with either the subexpression
operator '$(...)' or an immediately evaluated script block '& { ... }'.
The latter option may be more efficient since it does not buffer its
output like for the former one does.

patch 9.1.2138: win_execute() and 'autochdir' can corrupt buffer name
Problem: With 'autochdir' win_execute() can corrupt the buffer name,
causing :write to use wrong path.
Solution: Save and restore b_fname when 'autochdir' is active
(Ingo Karkat).
This is caused by a bad interaction of the 'autochdir' behavior,
overriding of the current directory via :lchdir, and the temporary
window switching done by win_execute(), manifesting when e.g. a custom
completion inspects other buffers:
1. In the initial state after the :lcd .. we have curbuf->b_fname =
"Xsubdir/file".
2. do_autochdir() is invoked, temporarily undoing the :lcd .., changing
back into the Xsubdir/ subdirectory.
3. win_execute() switches windows, triggering win_enter_ext() →
win_fix_current_dir() → shorten_fnames(TRUE)
4. shorten_fnames() processes *all* buffers
5. shorten_buf_fname() makes the filename relative to the current
(wrong) directory; b_fname becomes "file" instead of "Xsubdir/file"
6. Directory restoration correctly restores working directory via
mch_chdir() (skipping a second do_autochdir() invocation because
apply_acd is FALSE), but b_fname remains corrupted, with the
"Xsubdir/" part missing.
7. expand("%:p") (and commands like :write) continue to use the
corrupted filename, resolving to a wrong path that's missing the
"Xsubdir/" part.
To fix the problem the short filename is saved if its in effect (i.e.
pointed to by curbuf->b_fname) and 'autochdir' happened. It's then
restored in case of a local cwd override. The conditions limit this
workaround to when 'autochdir' is active *and* overridden by a :lchdir.
