Description

Many events have a context specific to the tree.

Pass winid to all events.

Create an event table to hold this, similar to vim events. There's no good way to move existing params into this table preserving compatibility; we might just have to add it at the end.

Start by locating the event definitions and existing event parameter handling in the plugin. Determine how to add winid to all events while preserving existing parameter compatibility, then verify that every event carries the correct tree context.
