[vim/vim] Provide `shortmess` option to combine `S` messages and search count (Issue #12316)

[Dani Dickstein]

Currently the shortmess option matrix for search messages looks like this:

Feature	'shortmess' setting
	+s+S	+s-S		-s-S	-s+S	???
"search hit TOP/BOTTOM, continuing at BOTTOM/TOP" when search wraps	N	N	N	N	Y	Y	Y	Y
display "W" when search wraps	N	N	Y	Y	N	N	Y	Y
display search count	N	Y	N	Y	N	Y	N	Y

I find both the first and third feature helpful - I don't often notice the "W," esp. since it's on the other side of the screen and I'm not always watching the search count. I'd like to have a setting combination that lets me enable both of them. I don't care whether or not the W is displayed also.

I think that is a big complicated by the way how Vim handles the message buffer.
