changeset 29632:96d83d5a48b3

(Vline_number_display_limit): Renamed from line_number_display_limit. (syms_of_xdisp): Use DEFVAR_LISP for line-number-display-limit. Extend documentation string. Initialize Vline_number_display_limit to nil meaning no limit. (decode_mode_spec): Use Vline_number_display_limit with its new meaning.
