Description
Many API families such as api.marks operate globally.
Add options to all API that are window specific to take a winid.
• {winid} (number) apply to the specified winid, otherwise first currently visible
This will be functional, however the fallback will be current behaviour.
A wrapper similar to node may be the solution.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the window-specific API families, including api.marks, and the wrapper approach suggested in the issue. Check the required dependency in #3088 before deciding how the APIs should accept winid. Done means all applicable window-specific APIs accept winid while preserving current behavior when it is omitted.
