> 'bufhidden' option exists. I don't think we should assume autoclosing
windows are fine just because 'hidden' is set.

Problem:
The "force" flag of win_close() complicates the code and adds edge cases
where it is not clear what the correct behavior should be.
The "free_buf" flag of win_close() is passed on to float windows when
closing the last window of a tabpage, which doesn't make much sense.

Solution:
Remove the "force" flag and always close float windows as if :close! is
used when closing the last window of a tabpage, and set the "free_buf"
flag for a float window based on whether its buffer can be freed.
As 'hidden' is on by default, this change shouldn't affect many people.

Problem:    Unable to customize the column next to a window ('gutter').
Solution:   Add 'statuscolumn' option that follows the 'statusline' syntax,
	    allowing to customize the status column. Also supporting the %@
	    click execute function label. Adds new items @C and @s which
	    will print the fold and sign columns. Line numbers and signs
	    can be clicked, highlighted, aligned, transformed, margined etc.
