feat(extmarks): add "undo_restore" flag to opt out of undo-restoring
It is a design goal of extmarks that they allow precise tracking of changes across undo/redo, including restore the exact positions after a do/undo or undo/redo cycle. However this behavior is not useful for all usecases. Many plugins won't keep marks around for long after text changes, but uses them more like a cache until some external source (like LSP semantic highlights) has fully updated to changed text and then will explicitly readjust/replace extmarks as needed. Add a "undo_restore" flag which is true by default (matches existing behavior) but can be set to false to opt-out of this behavior. Delete dead u_extmark_set() code.
