The pattern cannot be tested in advance as it seems that Lua inspect
the pattern only partially, the part that is actually used.
We resort to use pcall to catch any error when using the pattern.
This is needed for example when a selection has both `line1` and `col1`
at 1, and the left arrow is pressed: `line2` and `col2` change, while
`line1` and `col1` don't, but we still want to scroll.
Evolve the rule for directory in ignore_files to be more natural
and easy to understand.
When a final '/' or '/$' is found we consider the pattern to match
a directory and the pattern is not modifed. In turns, is used, before
matching a directory's name a final '/' is appended to its name
before checking if it matches the pattern.
With the previous rule a final '/' in the pattern meant also a directory
but the '/' was removed from the pattern.
When a user's or project's module configuration file is changed we
make sure that the config.plugins fields are all restored so that
all plugins already loaded can continue to work.
Some asserts are placed in case that can effectively occur
so we remove the assertion and we return false. In turn we
adapt the logic accordingly so when false is returned to add
a watch we do not open that directory.
Works correctly and the logic seems sound even if somewhat quirky.
`^%.` match any file of directory whose basename begins with a dot.
`^/node_modules$/"` match a directory named `node_modules` at the project's root.
Note that the final '/' needs to be at the end. The '/' after the '^' needs to be there to trigger
a match of the full path filename so we are sure it is at the root.
PROBLEM: the '/' to trigger full path match could be in a pattern's special expression like:
[^/]
`^%.git$/` match any directory name '.git' anywhere in the project.
`^/%.git$/` match a directory named '.git' only at the project's root.
`^/subprojects/.+/` match any directory in a top-level folder named "subprojects".
`^/build/` match any top level directory whose name begins with "build"
PROBLEM: may be surprising, one may expects it matches only a directory named 'build'. It actually acts like
it was `^/build.*/`.
When changing or opening a project directory do not
take the selected item from suggestion but simply the
entered text as it is.
Otherwise the user may be unable to choose a directory
if the text matches the beginning of suggestion.

For special file types like the ones in /dev/ the info
entry's type is neither file neither dir.
We prevent these kind of files from being listed in the
project.
