In commit f9118dd13c **"npp-compatible-versions"** has been added in plugin list for helping not only Plugin Admin, but also Plugin Manager (Plugin Loader) to check the compatibility with the latest version of plugin (if the version of installed plugin is the latest one).
However, if the version of installed plugin is the previous one, there's no info to know if this plugin with old version is compatible with running Notepad++. In order to filter better old version plugins, **"old-versions-compatibility"** is added in plugin list, so Plugin Manager can use it to check the compatibility to decide load it or not.
The value of "old-versions-compatibility" is a string made by 2 interval versions as following:
`"old-versions-compatibility": "[,2.6][,8.2.1]"`
The first interval versions are for old plugin versions: [,2.6] means from all the versions to v2.6 included.
The second interval versions are for Notepad++ versions: [,8.2.1] means from all the versions to v8.2.1 included.
Both interval versions together means: the plugin in question from the 1st version to v2.6 is compatible with Notepad++ v8.2.1 and all Notepad++ previous versions.
Here is the sample:
```json
{
"folder-name": "mimeTools",
"display-name": "Mime tools",
"version": "2.7",
"npp-compatible-versions": "[8.3,]",
"old-versions-compatibility": "[,2.6][,8.2.1]",
"id": "b65fbfaa15b443131eb69188069cacbff04eca66e0cb84130631303a1d3895f8",
"repository": "https://github.com/npp-plugins/mimetools/releases/download/v2.7/mimetools.v2.7.zip",
"description": "Implements several main functionalities defined in MIME.",
"author": "Don HO",
"homepage": "https://github.com/npp-plugins/mimetools"
},
```
Considering these 2 scenarios:
1. The current distributed plugin version is v2.7 (the latest one normally), and it is compatible with all Notepad++ version from v8.3. If installed MineTools plugin is v2.7 and running Notepad++ is v8.3.3 then it's OK, and MineTools v2.7 will be loaded.
2. If installed MineTools plugin is v2.6 and running Notepad++ is v8.3.3 then Plugin Manager learns it's a previous version (v2.6 < v2.7), so it will check "old-versions-compatibility" - it will find v2.6 is in the 1st interval [,2.6] - it's matched, then Plugin Manager keep checking the running Notepad++'s compatibility: v8.3.3 is not in the 2nd interval [,8.2.1] - it's not compatible, then MineTools plugin v2.6 won't be loaded.
Here are the test instructions for this PR:
1. download x64 debug binary here:
https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/5ba501ecu21k28i7/artifacts/Notepad%2B%2B.x64.Debug.exe
2. Create an empty file "nppPluginList.json" in your `npp\plugins\Config\`
and copy the following content
5e23fce868/src/pl.x64.json
and paste into `npp\plugins\Config\nppPluginList.json`
You have to copy "updater" folder (which contains GUP.exe) to enable plugin list.
3. Download DSpellCheck plugin v1.4.22 which is not compatible with Notepad++ from v8.3 and later version here:
https://github.com/Predelnik/DSpellCheck/releases/download/v1.4.22/DSpellCheck_x64.zip
Install it into plugin folder manually.
4. Now launch Notepad++ x64 debug binary and watch it crash.
5. Edit "nppPluginList.json" by adding `"old-versions-compatibility": "[,1.4.22][,8.2.1]",` into DSpellCheck section.
6. Startup Notepad++. Notepad++ doesn't crash. and now you can check DSpellCheck plugin is not loaded on the startup.

For some reason, the file name ComboBox isn't present when enumerating windows in OnFolderChange().
Because of that, we can't call onPreFileOk() in keyboard hook procedure.
Fix that by retrying window search in OnSelectionChange() if we didn't find them previously.

A new ability for checking plugins' compatibility with running Notepad++ has been added in Plugin List & Plugin Admin (a06b404708).
This PR extends this ability by using Plugin Admin's plugin list to filter plugins to load - if any plugin to load with **the same folder name**, **the same version** (as in the plugin list) and it's **not compatible** with the running Notepad++ version found while loading plugins, it will be skipped for being loaded.

4 new API are added:
- NPPM_GETEXTERNALLEXERAUTOINDENTMODE
- NPPM_SETEXTERNALLEXERAUTOINDENTMODE
- NPPM_ISAUTOINDENTON
- NPPM_GETCURRENTMACROSTATUS
* Added support for custom auto-indentation for external lexer.
* Also added messages to fetch current Macro status (Idle, Recording, Stopped, Running) -> for this also affects auto-indentation behavior.
* Also added capability to query for the current User Settings of "Use Auto Indentation".

Implement: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/nppPluginList/issues/416
While PluginAdmin loading nppPluginList.dll, it will check an attribute "npp-compatible-versions" (optional),
in order to determinate if plugin is compatible to the current version of Notepad++. If plugin is not compatible,
then this plugin will be ignored, therefore it won't be shown on the PluginAdmin's plugin list.
Note that it's only about pluginsAdmin's plugin list:
it prevent from Notepad++ install/update a plugin non-compatible to current version of Notepad++,
but it still allows Notepad++ load this plugin in question, if it's already installed.
Here is the attribite "npp-compatible-versions" looks like in plugin list json file:
```
{
"name": "npp-pluginList",
"version": "1.4.7",
"arch": "32",
"npp-plugins": [
{
"folder-name": "demoPluginA",
"display-name": "Demo Plugin A",
"version": "1.8.7",
"npp-compatible-versions": "[4.2,6.6.6]",
"id": "9c566a9083ef66a0ce93a3ce5f55977faea559b5b0993e37a1461b87f4aeb6f0",
...
},
{
"folder-name": "demoPluginB",
"display-name": "Demo Plugin B",
"version": "1.1.8.7",
"id": "8a6b9dadbf2ec37d5c60a12a5445f0eec2ef00e6eaa80452925789fd73950193",
...
},
...
}
}
```
It's optional. In the case of its absence, it's considered compatible to all versions of Notepad++.
The format of value for "npp-compatible-versions" is following (no white space is allowed):
"6.9" : exact version 6.9
"[4.2,6.6.6]" : from version 4.2 to 6.6.6 inclusive
"[8.3,]" : any version from 8.3 to the latest one
"[,8.2.1]" : 8.2.1 and any previous version

* add goToCenter to hotkey check in IDM_SEARCH_(FIND|REPLACE|FINDINFILES|MARK)
Before commit aa69711d it was possible to center the dialog on Notepad++ using a second CTRL+F but was lost during the implementation of #10019, #10177.
This will re-add the function:
* When the hotkey used is not associated with the current tab, it will switch to the new tab (as before).
* If the hotkey used is associated with the current tab, it will center the FindReplaceDlg on Notepad++.

Crash regression has been inserted by #11258.
The 2GB+ adaptation has forced change in integers saving via TinyXML (now saved indirectly as strings). While the MapPosition part has been already fortified against possible missing session-file items, the Position part not. So implemented likewise the MapPosition way.

Some members (_line2go, _column2go and _pos2go) from the CmdLineParams & CmdLineParamsDTO structs need 'int' to 'intptr_t' change to support 2GB+ files.
Saving & loading of the 'session.xml' needs a 2GB+ adaptation too. The underlying TinyXML (older v1) does not have a native support for the 64-bit integers, so loading/writing there has been changed to strings instead of integers. This way is fully compatible with a possible future update to TinyXML-2 (which has already built-in support for the 64-bit integers).
