* Refactor Registers to take EditorMichael Davis2023-07-31
This sets up a new Registers type that will allow us to expand support for special registers. (See the child commits.) We start simple with the regular (`Vec<String>`) registers and the simplest special register, the black hole. In the child commits we will expand these match arms with more special registers. The upcoming special registers will need a few things that aren't possible with the current Registers type in helix-core: * Access to the `Editor`. This is only necessary when reading from registers, so the `&Editor` parameter is only added to `Registers::read`. * Returning owned values. Registers in helix-core returns references to the values backed by the `Vec<String>` but future special registers will need to return owned values. We refactor the return value of the read operations to give `Cow<str>`s and iterators over those. * Returning a `Result` for write/push functions. This will be used by the clipboard special registers.
