feat(api): add `nvim_cmd`

Adds the API function `nvim_cmd` which allows executing an Ex-command through a Dictionary which can have the same values as the return value of `nvim_parse_cmd()`. This makes it much easier to do things like passing arguments with a space to commands that otherwise may not allow it, or to make commands interpret certain characters literally when they otherwise would not.
