    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.
    
    fixes #13894
    closes: #14082
