Fix a long waiting issue about file auto change detection, by adding a new option to avoid an annoying behaviour:
If file content is changed outside of Notepad++, while focus back to Notepad++, the current editing tab will be switched off, the changed file will be switched to and user will be asked to reload the file in question.
The new option remains the editing tab. User will be asked to reload it only if the changed file is switched in.

Extend class StringDlg, so that characters which are not allowed in a file name such as |, :, >, < etc. will be restricted for tab's new name so that there will be no problem while saving backup file.

New correct behaviour: Dragging out a "new #" document from instance 1 and dropping it into instance 2 makes disappear "new #" document from instance 1, and nothing happens in instance 2.
This PR contains three types of changes:
1. Actual bug fix. This bug appeared, because prior to closing files, "Close all but this" attempts to save modified files, and for that it needs to switch views. Those views were not restored after that, however - so further actions could end up being executed on a wrong view. Those are changed commented with // We may have to restore previous view after saving new files.
2. Another potential bug fix. Closing files in both views could result in views being switched (it may or may not, I did not manage to unambiguously find that out from the code). To prevent any possible issues, I stored view IDs in viewNo. If those could never switch, then the code changes nothing - but if they could, it fixes a potential bug.
3. Code clarity fix in Notepad_plus::switchEditViewTo. std::swap makes it more obvious this code is there only to swap values around!

Use the _isFolding flag to fix several overlooked edge case hangs.
This pull request fixes additional hangs I found after #4867 when working with deeply-nested fully-folded files. The hangs are easy to reproduce by following these steps:
Download the sample file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/master/PowerEditor/src/Parameters.cpp
Open the downloaded file by itself in NPP and fold it using Alt-0
Create a new empty tab and remain focused on it
Perform the six actions below, each of which will produce a hang as NPP tries to change focus back to the first tab. On my machine, each hang lasts about 30 seconds. After control returns, refocus the empty tab again and try the next action.
Use File>>Open to reopen the downloaded file, even though it is already open
Drag and drop the downloaded file onto NPP to reopen it
Double-click the downloaded file to reopen it
Right-click the downloaded file and select Edit with Notepad++ in the context menu
Open the downloaded file from the command line: C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" .\Parameters.cpp
Click the red [X] in the upper right corner to close NPP
After applying the patch, none of the hangs should happen any more.

Use the _isFolding flag to avoid expensive redundant operations that cause an apparent hang when opening or switching tabs to a large fully-folded file.
The released version of Notepad++ uses the _isFolding flag to avoid expensive redundant operations when switching to a fully-folded tab using the mouse pointer.
However, opening a fully-folded file or switching to a fully-folded tab with the keyboard can produce a delay so long that Notepad++ appears to hang forever.
The hang is 100% reproducible and can be demonstrated in less than 60 seconds:
Download a deeply-nested file such as https://raw.githubusercontent.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/master/PowerEditor/src/Parameters.cpp or https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/files/1555939/nppTest.zip
Open the file in Notepad++ and fold it using Alt-0
Create a new empty tab
Switch back and forth between tabs using the mouse, which is fast
Switch back and forth between tabs using the keyboard (Ctrl-Tab, Ctrl-Page(Up|Down), Ctrl-NumPad[0-9]), which will hang
This pull request applies the existing _isFolding flag to the forgotten keyboard and file open operations and prevents the hang caused by opening or switching tabs to a fully-folded file.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue:
1. Open two files a.txt (first tab) and b.txt (second tab)
2. Start tail monitoring for a.txt (first tab) and activate b.txt (second tab)
3. Now delete a.txt from the explorer
4. Come back to notepad++
5. Observe the behavior now
Unexpected Behavior:
At step 4, if user choose to keep the file, a.txt is still marked as monitoring. As soon as del action occurs, b.txt automatically comes under "tail monitoring".
If user choose to remove file, a.txt should be removed from the notepad. This is absolutely fine.

"notepad++.exe -export=functionList -lcpp c:\funcListTests\whatever.cpp"
will open whatever.cpp as cpp file, then parse this file to write the
funcLst result on disk, then exit Notepad++.
The result will write into c:\funcListTests\whatever.cpp.result.
Updated file "NppIO.cpp" to deal with issue #3553
However both existing and updated code looks same, but it is not.
command(IDM_VIEW_MONITORING);
looks equal to
buf->stopMonitoring();
checkMenuItem(IDM_VIEW_MONITORING, false);
_toolBar.setCheck(IDM_VIEW_MONITORING, false);
buf->setUserReadOnly(false);
Updated code works on the current file being processed while existing code command(IDM_VIEW_MONITORING); works with current active buffer. Debugging for reported case can help to understand the above statement.
Justification for updating file "NppCommands.cpp":
See static HANDLE hThread gets a handle when monitoring is activated on a tab.
This handle is overwritten if monitoring is activated on another tab. Resource leak happens here as previous handle can't be closed at all.
However, this handle is not used anywhere in the code, then just why not to close the handle as soon thread is created.

While D:\test.txt has been opend. And open new Tab (new 1), add random text then save
it as D:\test.txt - 2 different tabs having same file opened and they could have
different content.
The fix checks for opened file existence only in the other view
(either in sub view or in main view), but does not check in same view.

1. If any session ext is set, then give preference to session ext instead
of "All Types (* . *). This is applicable for both save/load session
methods.
2. Show error message when user tries to load wrong session file (e.g. any
text file which is not a valid session file).
3. Correct typo and wrong description in a messagebox.

-quitOnEmpty command line flag makes Notepad++ to quit when the last tab is closed. Useful for people who use Notead++ for things like editing Git commit messages (using -multiInst -notabbar -nosession), and want to signal they are done editing by closing the tab with Ctrl-W instead of Alt-F4.
