The current implementation falls short for syntax test files
on two accounts:
1. With folded lines -- some lines before folded lines are
unnecessarily repeated in generated dump files because
closed folded lines are always treated as opened for the
cursor to move _in_ instead of to move _over_ them.
2. With wrapped lines (longer than 75 columns) -- some lines
are omitted in generated dump files because calculations
for the cursor progress and its movement commands only
refer to file lines and not their layout within a 20x75
buffer (less &cmdheight).
As an alternative, we abandon deterministic (and inaccurate
at times) calculations for the cursor progress and, instead,
advance the cursor by as much as before for a single dump
file, but now rely on marking the last visible line and
additional movement to position lines at desired offsets,
carefully preserving compatibility for the &scrolloff and
&ruler values inherited from defaults.vim. The parent Vim
process will keep track of progress through a syntax test
file made by its child process ("terminal") by reading the
rightmost end of the ruler line from the terminal buffer,
looking for " All " or " Bot " for its cue to finish dump
file generation.
With these changes applied, the lossless line length limit
will be raised from 75 to 1425 (for a 19x75 view) columns.
Also, prefer "lastline" to "truncate" for &display; hiding
the content of any last _long_ line in a view goes against
the purpose of syntax file testing -- all lines should be
recorded.

* runtime(vim): Update base-syntax, fix escaping :syn and :hi sub-groups
- Remove contained :syntax and :highlight sub-groups from the function
body cluster. These should only match in the respective commands.
- Remove vimSynLine syntax group from several clusters. The definition
of vimSynLine was removed in Vim 5.3.
* runtime(vim): Update syntax generator, use standard Last Change date format
The de facto standard date format is YYYY MMM DD.
