patch 9.1.0131: buffer-completion may not always find all matches
Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/0dc0bff000fd804c6b0778ccc4554a4e4c82c8c9

patch 9.1.0131: buffer-completion may not always find all matches
Problem: buffer-completion code too complicated and does not always
find all matches (irisjae)
Solution: do not try to anchor pattern to beginning of line or
directory-separator, always return all matches
Note: we are considering the non-fuzzy buffer-matching here.
Currently, the buffer-completion code makes 2 attempts to match a
pattern against the list of available patterns. First try is to match
the pattern and anchor it to either the beginning of the file name or
at a directory-separator (// or \\).
When a match is found, Vim returns the matching buffers and does not try
to find a match anywhere within a buffer name. So if you have opened two
buffers like /tmp/Foobar.c and /tmp/MyFoobar.c using `:b Foo` will only
complete to the first filename, but not the second (the same happens
with `getcompletion('Foo', 'buffer')`).
It may make sense, that completion priorities buffer names at directory
boundaries, but it inconsistent, may cause confusion why a certain
buffer name is not completed when typing `:b Foo<C-D>` which returns
only a single file name and then pressing Enter (to switch to that
buffer), Vim will error with 'E93: More than one match for Foo').
Similar things may happen when wiping the /tmp/Foobar.c pattern and
afterwards the completion starts completing other buffers.
So let's simplify the code and always match the pattern anywhere in the
buffer name, do not try to favor matches at directory boundaries. This
is also simplifies the code a bit, we do not need to run over the list
of buffers several times, but only twice.
