Problem:    When calling setpos() with a buffer argument it often is ignored.
            (Matthew Malcomson)
Solution:   Make the buffer argument work for all marks local to a buffer.
            (neovim vim/vim#5713)  Add more tests.

Fixes 2 failing tests in startup_spec.lua.

The Windows-only `--literal` option complicates support of "stdin-as-text
+ file-args" (#7679).  Could work around it, but it's not worth
the trouble:
- users have a reasonable (and englightening) alternative: nvim +"n *"
- "always literal" is more consistent/predictable
- avoids platform-specific special-case

Unrelated changes:
- Replace fileno(stdxx) with STDXX_FILENO for consistency (not motivated
  by any observed technical reason).

Problem:    Character classes are not well tested. They can differ between
            platforms.
Solution:   Add tests.  In the documentation make clear which classes depend
            on what library function.  Only use :cntrl: and :graph: for ASCII.

            Update the documentation.

Problem:    MS-Windows users are confused about default mappings.
Solution:   Don't map keys in the console where they don't work.  Add a choice
            in the installer to use MS-Windows key bindings or not. (Christian
