Updated to Vim 9.0.1897

Special Notes
====================

As some of you may have read, Bram Moolenaar, the creator of Vim, has
[passed away](https://groups.google.com/g/vim_announce/c/tWahca9zkt4)
recently. He has worked tirelessly on Vim for more than 30 years and
this release is dedicated to him. If you would like, you could pay your
respects at [this discussion
thread](vim/vim#12737).

The Vim project has transitioned to new maintainers, and MacVim will continue
to be supported as long as Vim is around.

Features
====================

More flexible Python integration
--------------------

MacVim now allows you to use Python runtime (via `pythonthreedll`, used
for Python plugins) of any version at or above 3.9. Previously you had
to use the exact same version that was used to build MacVim (Python
3.11). The Python detection logic is also updated to always just find
the latest version of Homebrew Python instead of a fixed one, and it
will also now locate the default macOS / Xcode Python provided by the
Xcode Command Line Tools if that is the only Python available. This
should hopefully make configuring Python for MacVim a lot more seamless.
See `:h python3-stable-abi`. Vim v9.0.1776 / #1428.

New Vim features
--------------------

- New built-in support for [EditorConfig](https://editorconfig.org/) via
  an optional package. Use `packadd editorconfig` to activate it. See
  vim/vim#12902.
- `g<End>` now goes to the first non-blank char. v9.0.1753
- API changes
  - `undotree()` now takes a bufnr v9.0.1686
  - `printf()` now takes positional arguments v9.0.1704
  - `virtcol()` now takes winid v9.0.1728
  - quickfix items can now have user data v9.0.1688
- Miscellaneous security fixes.

Security Fixes
====================

- Fixed insecure usages of interprocess communication in MacVim
(CVE-2023-41036)

Fixes
====================

- Fixed MacVim to correctly set up the runtime folder in the app bundle.
  As a corollary, `xxd` is now bundled with MacVim like most other Vim
  distributions, and MacVim.app now provides man page for the CLI vim
  commands if the user wants to associate man pages with the `mvim`
  comamnd (see `:h macvim-PATH`). #1430
- Fixed Vim occasionally crashing and/or hung when autocmd calls
  `serverlist()` on exit. #1427

Scripting
====================

- Scripting languages versions:
    - Python now supports 3.9 or above.

Compatibility
====================

Requires macOS 10.9 or above. (10.9 - 10.12 requires downloading a
separate legacy build)

Script interfaces have compatibility with these versions:

- Lua 5.4
- Perl 5.30
- Python2 2.7
- Python3 3.9 or above
- Ruby 3.2
