rename g:airline#init#async variable to g:airline#init#vim_async
because that is what it is for: showing whether vim supports async. Is
not set vor nvim, because nvim always supports jobs.
workaround with index(term_list(), bufnr('')) > -1 not needed anymore,
since vim 8.0.936 will correctly return 't' for the mode() function in
the terminal.
This enables the highlighting caching only when the variable
g:airline_highlighting_cache is set to 1
Should make airline faster and more performant, because we can save a
lot of expensive C core calls. However, when redefining highlighting
groups, it might not correctly reset the cache.
do not access get() function twice. We can assign the result to a
variable and use it a second time. Should speed up the highligther part
of the code by a bit.
Since I was already touching s:Get(), also get rid of the default
parameter, as it always has been the empty string.
Currently this is a hack, to get terminal mode from Vim.
However there is no better solution yet, since the API is not stable
here. Until then, just use the hack with
index(term_list(), bufnr('')) > -1
Previously the user was expected to set 'laststatus' himself to 2 if he
wanted to have airline be shown by default.
However it doesn't make much sense to have airline installed but not
display the statusline. Therefore, set the 'laststatus' to 2, if it
isn't set to it already.
When using vim-gitgutter and fugitive:
The hunks extension and the branch extension work as expected when the
file is first loaded; both parts are added to the statusline.
Once the cursor is moved and stopped for &updatetime ms:
1. The branch extension clears b:airline_head on CursorHold
2. Somehow (?) airline#statusline gets called on CursorHold
3. The hunks extension returns '' when b:airline_head is empty, causing
the hunks to be removed from the statusline.
It doesn't make sense to clear airline_head just because the cursor
moved, and the commit message adding the line doesn't say why:
13297cee03
Commit 174b7e1962 relies on airline_head
being set.

Commmit a10d321809 introduced a small typo
spelling a previously set variable `trailing_fmt` as `trailing_fm`. This
causes Vim to report `trailing_fm` as an undefined variable. In this
change, the variable is properly referenced as `trailing_fmt`.
