In Python raw strings, newlines can't be escaped with a backslash. If
you do that, both the backslash and the newline become part of the
string. This meant that the regex for constants both started and ended
with a newline which caused every other constant to be skipped.
The plugin API function config_new_option accepts null as the
default_value and/or value however the scripting APIs (except for lua)
didn't allow sending null as a parameter value, so it was impossible to
use it this way. This allows sending a null value for these parameters.
Lua already supported sending in nil for these parameters and it works
as expected, so nothing is changed for this plugin.
For Guile you can now send in #nil, for JavaScript null or undefined,
for Perl undef, for PHP NULL, for Python None, for Ruby nil and for Tcl
$::weechat::WEECHAT_NULL.
In all of these languages except Tcl this is the special value
indicating a missing value. However Tcl only has one type, string, so it
doesn't have a null value. Therefore I created a constant with the value
`\uFFFF\uFFFF\uFFFFWEECHAT_NULL\uFFFF\uFFFF\uFFFF` which is used
instead. This is very unlikely to appear unintentionally. Using the
unicode code point \uFFFF was suggested on
https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/null.
I tested this with these scripts:

This fixes the compilation warning:
weechat-guile.c: In function ‘weechat_plugin_init’:
weechat-guile.c:1270:5: warning: ‘scm_install_gmp_memory_functions’ is deprecated [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
There is no problem in practice because the possible URL prefixes are hardcoded
in the spell plugin and don't contain any UTF-8 char on more than one byte.
There is no problem in practice because this server nonce is generated by
WeeChat itself and encoded to base64, so it never contains any UTF-8 char on
more than one byte.
Option relay.network.compression_level is renamed to relay.network.compression
and is now a percentage between 0 (no compression) to 100 (best compression,
slowest).
Compression is now disabled by default in weechat protocol and must be enabled
via the `handshake` command (option `compression` has been removed from `init`
command).
