feat: ignore swapfile for running Nvim processes #25336
Problem: The swapfile "E325: ATTENTION" dialog is displayed when editing a file already open in another (running) Nvim. Usually this behavior is annoying and irrelevant: - "Recover" and the other options ("Open readonly", "Quit", "Abort") are almost never wanted. - swapfiles are less relevant for "multi-Nvim" since 'autoread' is enabled by default. - Even less relevant if user enables 'autowrite'. Solution: Define a default SwapExists handler which does the following: 1. If the swapfile is owned by a running Nvim process, automatically chooses "(E)dit anyway" (caveat: this creates a new, extra swapfile, which is mostly harmless and ignored except by `:recover` or `nvim -r`. 2. Shows a 1-line "ignoring swapfile..." message. 3. Users can disable the default SwapExists handler via `autocmd! nvim_swapfile`.
