completion: move in right direction when filling completion_info()
When moving through the insert completion menu and switching directions, we need to make sure we start at the correct position in the list and move correctly forward/backwards through it, so that we do not skip entries and the selected item points to the correct entry in the list of completion entries generated by the completion_info() function. The general case is this: 1) CTRL-X CTRL-N, we will traverse the list starting from compl_first_match and then go forwards (using the cp->next pointer) through the list (skipping the very first entry, which has the CP_ORIGINAL_TEXT flag set (since that is the empty/non-selected entry 2) CTRL-X CTRL-P, we will traverse the list starting from compl_first_match (which now points to the last entry). The previous entry will have the CP_ORIGINAL_TEXT flag set, so we need to start traversing the list from the second prev pointer. There are in fact 2 special cases after starting the completion menu with CTRL-X: 3) CTRL-N and then going backwards by pressing CTRL-P again. compl_first_match will point to the same entry as in step 1 above, but since compl_dir_foward() has been switched by pressing CTRL-P to backwards we need to pretend to be in still in case 1 and still traverse the list in forward direction using the cp_next pointer 4) CTRL-P and then going forwards by pressing CTRL-N again. compl_first_match will point to the same entry as in step 2 above, but since compl_dir_foward() has been switched by pressing CTRL-N to forwards we need to pretend to be in still in case 2 and still traverse the list in backward direction using the cp_prev pointer related: vim#13402 related: vim#12971
