feat(#1984): add quit_on_open and focus opts to various api.node.open functions (#3054)

* feat: add quit_on_open opt to api.node.open.edit

* fix: fix missing @param annotation

* feat: add focus opt to api.node.open.edit

* fix: fix focus == false behaviour on api.node.open.tab command

* fix: add optional tabpage integer parameter to view.close

if tabpage is not nil, then the function closes the tabpage in this
specific tabpage

* fix: fix quit_on_open == true behaviour on api.node.open.tab command

* fix: add check to not use new opts for certain edit modes

* fix: add docs for new opts
