while at it, also move the note about :wincmd
directly to :h :wincmd, it doesn't seem to belong to the buffer section.

Problem: :bw leaves jumplist and tagstack data around
(Paul "Joey" Clark)
Solution: Wipe jumplist and tagstack references to the wiped buffer
(LemonBoy)
As documented the :bwipeout command brutally deletes all the references
to the buffer, so let's make it delete all the entries in the jump list
and tag stack referring to the wiped-out buffer.

Problem: win_splitmove fires WinNewPre and possibly WinNew when moving
windows, even though no new windows are created.
Solution: don't fire WinNew and WinNewPre when inserting an existing
window, even if it isn't the current window. Improve the
accuracy of related documentation. (Sean Dewar)
Likewise, before this patch, WinClosed was not fired anyway (even for :wincmd
H/J/K/L, which also didn't fire WinNew, but did still fire WinNewPre), despite
documentation saying windows are "closed". Note that :wincmd T actually indeed
works by creating a new window (and closing the old one), unlike the others.
This also fixes issues where WinNewPre is fired when split-moving while curwin
doesn't yet have a frame or entry in the window list, causing many things to not
work (it's not considered valid at that point). This was guaranteed when using
:wincmd H/J/K/L.
Because WinNewPre is no longer fired when split-moving, this makes restoring the
previous window layout on failure easier, as we can be sure that frames are not
resized from WinNewPre autocommands if win_split_ins fails. This allows us to
use a different strategy in the following commit.
--
In my opinion, this leaves questions about the current usefulness of WinNewPre.
A motivation described in #10635 states how creating a new window can steal room
from other windows, and how WinNewPre will be useful for detecting that, but
this is also true when inserting an existing window, which now doesn't fire it.
Maybe the autocommand should be changed to have a better name?
There are also other issues I found with the current implementation of WinNewPre
that need addressing:
- it allows switching windows and tabpages, which can cause incorrect windows to
be split/moved, and big problems when switching tabpages.
- it fires before win_split_ins checks for room, before it makes any changes to
window sizes or before it considers allocating a new window. This should be
changed or documented.
I hope to address some of this stuff in a different PR, if possible.

Problem: ":wincmd =" equalizes in two directions.
Solution: Make ":vertical wincmd =" equalize vertically only and
":horizontal wincmd =" equalize horizontally only.
Problem: The session file does not restore the alternate file.
Solution: Add ":balt". Works like ":badd" and also sets the buffer as the
alternate file. Use it in the session file. (closes#7269,
closes#6714)
Problem: The "last used" info of a buffer is under used.
Solution: Add "lastused" to getbufinfo(). List buffers sorted by last-used
field. (Andi Massimino, closes#4722)
Problem: ATTENTION prompt for a preview popup window.
Solution: Close the popup window if aborting the buffer load. Avoid getting
the ATTENTION dialog.
Problem: Remarks about functionality not in Vi clutters the help.
Solution: Move all info about what is new in Vim or already existed in Vi to
vi_diff.txt. Remove {not in Vi} remarks. (closes#4268) Add
"noet" to the help files modeline. Also include many other help
file improvements.
