api: add nvim_create_buf to create a new empty buffer.

Loading existing files into a buffer is non-trivial and requires a window.
Creating an unnamed emtpy buffer is trivial and safe though, thus worth a
special case.

Change nvim_buf_set_option to use aucmd_prepbuf. This is necessary
to allow some options to be set on a not yet displayed buffer, such
as 'buftype' option.
