Add support for clickable regions in the statusline using %[FuncName] syntax. When a user clicks on a region, the specified Vim function is called with a dictionary argument. The function can return non-zero to trigger a statusline redraw.

%[FuncName] starts a clickable region, %[] ends it. If %[] is omitted, the region extends to the end of the statusline. %N[FuncName] passes an identifier N to the callback as minwid.

The callback receives a Dictionary with:

minwid: identifier from %N[Func] (0 if not specified)
nclicks: number of clicks (1, 2, or 3)
button: "l" (left), "m" (middle), "r" (right)
mods: modifier keys, combination of "s" (shift), "c" (ctrl), "a" (alt)
winid: window-ID of the clicked statusline

Use has('statusline_click') to check availability.

func! ClickFile(info)
    if a:info.button ==# 'l' && a:info.nclicks == 2
        browse edit
    endif
    return 0
endfunc
set statusline=%[ClickFile]%f%[]\ %l:%c

I plan to add clickable region support for tabpanel as well in a follow-up.
