Use Neovim's diagnostics API by default in recent enough Neovim
versions. This will make problems found by ALE play nicely with problems
found by other tools.
Make a series of sweeping changes to make :ALEInfo more useful.
1. Deprecate :ALEInfoToClipboard and support :ALEInfo -clipboard
2. Permit :ALEInfo -clip as a shorthand for :ALEInfo -clipboard
3. Support :ALEInfo -preview to render in the preview window
4. Support :ALEInfo -echo for the classic :ALEInfo mode
5. Change the default mode to 'preview', and make it configurable
6. Add syntax highlighting for ALEInfo in preview mode
7. Add a convenience to look up documentatation that explains itself
8. Don't show an empty 'Linter Variables' section
When commands are run, it can be useful to just save the hidden buffers
so language servers immediately get updated with changes to files
without you having to manually save each file. You can now enable this
by setting `g:ale_save_hidden` to `1`.
* Add fourmolu fixer
Fourmolu is aversion of Ormolu that supports configuration. This fixer
was modeled after the Ormolu one, but using the "stack executable"
approach of the Brittany and Stylish Haskell fixers.
* Sort supported-tools.md
* Add support for Bicep when installed as a plugin to Azure CLI
The compiler for Microsoft's DSL Bicep can be installed both
independently and as a plugin to Azure CLI. The latter is probably how
most people install it.
The program output is the same but Azure CLI wraps the arguments and has
a slightly different interface, hence I opted to copy the old linter and
modify it to match the plugin arguments.
* Fix bicep/az_bicep tests, arguments and parsing
* Actually test the ale_linters#bicep#az_bicep#Handle function in the
test that should test that function, not
ale_linters#bicep#bicep#Handle.
* Use the same method as in bicep/bicep for discarding output file, i.e.
by specifying --outfile to a null file.
* Fix parsing of occasionally occurring leading error type (such as
'ERROR: ').
* Correct option defaults for bicep & az_bicep specified in documentation
Support replacing ALE's display of problems with sending problems to the Neovim diagnostics API.

Default virtual-text to the Comment highlight group and prefix
virtual-text messages with comment text for each language by default.
Messages can now be formatted with `%type%` to print the error type.
The Vim 9.0 version has been updated in the Docker image to add test
coverage for virtual-text.
this commit adds refurb as a Python linter, together with some tests
and documentation. it should fix issue: #4362
refurb repo: https://github.com/dosisod/refurb
`checkmake` by default checks config file "in the same folder it's
executed in" unless `--config` option is set.
This commit allows setting the `--config` option with an option
variable (with documentation updated).
* ale.txt: fix indentation
* ale.txt: fix Type and Default markup
* ale.txt: use `not set` instead of `undefined`
This matches the way the variables are referenced in prose about
existence state.
* Add support for Microsoft's DSL Bicep
The compilation command 'bicep build' catches compilation errors as well
as providing some lint warnings.
Repository for Bicep: https://github.com/Azure/bicep
* Different null file on Windows & hardcode commands
* Remove virtual text via types-filter
This is more robust and has the additional sideeffect that it will make
it easier to implement showing virtual text for all warnings
simultaneously.
We definitely do not want to do a call to prop_remove() for every
virtual text as that will cause noticeable lag when many warnings are
present, thus we can use this to remove all virtual text lines with one
call in the future.

* Allow virtual text to appear for all warnings of the buffer
This can be enabled with:
let g:ale_virtualtext_cursor = 2
It is implemented both for neovim and vim 9.0.0297.
Note that sometimes it may appear like some warnings are displayed
multiple times. This is not a bug in the virtual text implementation,
but a sideeffect of multiple linters returning similar results.
For example for Rust, the 'cargo' and 'rls' linters appear to be
activated at the same time, but they sometimes return identical errors.
This causes the virtual text to show the same warning twice.
In the future we can mitigate this problem by removing duplicate errors
from our internal location list.
However users can also achieve cleaner warnings simply by activating
only one linter for each language (or multiple unambiguous linters).
For example for Rust, the problem could be solved with:
let g:ale_linters = {'rust': ['analyzer']}
