patch 8.1.0697: ":sign place" requires the buffer argument

commit https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/b328cca2548936c5f68fff683049a929882f5011
Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org>
Date:   Sun Jan 6 16:24:01 2019 +0100

    patch 8.1.0697: ":sign place" requires the buffer argument

    Problem:    ":sign place" requires the buffer argument.
    Solution:   Make the argument optional.  Also update the help and clean up the
                sign test. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closes #3767)

+identifier is used to jump to the sign or to remove the sign. The identifier
+is assigned when placing the sign using the |sign-place| command or the

+multiple placed signs use the same identifier, then jumping to or removing a
