Auto-paired characters for Kakoune.

When inserting an opening pair, auto-pairs always inserts the closing pair, unless when under a word character or preceded by a backslash, and for non nestable characters (such as apostrophes), when preceded by word characters.

Auto-pairing is also about pair navigation and editing (deleting existing pairs and formatting in pair). It can move in pair (▌), delete in pair (▌) and post pair ()▌, and pad in pair horizontally (␣▌␣) and vertically:

    …
    foobar {
        ▌
    }
    …

.

When inserting an auto-paired character, if the opening and closing characters are the same (such as double quote strings), auto-pairs will move right in pair "▌" and skip additional pairing post pair "▌.
