Patch to add the bufferlist() function

[Yegappan Lakshmanan]

Hi all,

The attached patch introduces a new bufferlist() function which returns a List
of buffers. Each list item is a dictionary containing the buffer attributes.
This function will be useful for plugin developers. The patch is
against 7.3.905.

We can extend this function in the future to return more information about
the buffers.

Thanks, I'll add it in the todo list.

I have added two more functions: winlist() and tabpagelist(). The updated
diff is attached.

I have added the buffer/window/tabpage local variables to the returned list.

Hi,

I have updated the functions to also return buffer/window/tabpage options.
The functions are renamed to bufinfo(), wininfo() and tabpageinfo().
The functions
can also be used to query information about a single buffer/window/tabpage.

Hi all,

This patch implements the getbufinfo(), gettabinfo() and getwininfo()
functions. I have updated the patch to the latest Vim and also added
a test.
