WIP: first try of new UI

[EpsilonKu]

Status: Don't even try, it's under heavy WIP. Feel free for any idea or suggestions.

Today I wake up and decided to make some experiments. I'm rewriting spectre with new UI. I'm using nui -components

Forgive me guys, for not being active here. I hope it's not too late and I hope we have active users of spectre.

Hi, thanks for your work!
I’ve already tested this PR, but it breaks the setup function in my config . possibly due to the changes in state.user_config in lua/spectre/state.lua.

I really like the new UI. It provides a better way to preview the current file. However, it now depends on two additional plugins. Maybe we can call to the new UI as "floating" and the old one call "buffer" not plenary.

Regarding the future of this plugin, I still use it daily and will keep maintain it.
My big mistake on this plugin is making sed the default replace engine. While we do have the Rust-based engine with Oxi, requiring users to install Rust just to use the plugin isn’t very convenient.

I'm also looking forward to Neovim 0.12, which will bring a new remote plugin host maybe this might allow me to implement another engine based on Python

Cheers

Hi, my master🤣.

1. Yeah, I will work on stability starting from now.
2. Sure, I will rename it to float and buffer.
3. So better leave sed as the default one? I thought about ripgrep because grug-far.nvim uses it.

I'm closing this for to take 2. Code is mess now. But luckily take 2 will be faster to make
