[vim/vim] prompt-buffer raises E37 when I try to quit, even though (obviously) its `'buftype'` is not empty (Issue #18942)

[Phạm Bình An]

brianhuster created an issue (vim/vim#18942)

Steps to reproduce

1. vim --clean abcdef
2. set buftype=prompt
3. Make any change to the abcdef buffer (which is now a prompt-buffer)
4. :q
   Now you can see that Vim will prompt raise an error E37: No write since last change
5. But of course the buffer is not writable. Typing :w will result in E382
   Of course I can still quit the buffer with :q!. But given that it is not meant to be writable in the first place, why do I have to that? Why can't simple :q just work?

Expected behaviour

:q allows quitting the buffer, without any error
