perf(extui): delay creating windows, buffers and parser (#34665)

Problem:  vim._extui unconditionally creates windows, buffers and the
          Vimscript cmdline highlighter when it is first loaded.
Solution: Schedule first creation of the window so that first redraw
          happens sooner (still need to create at least the cmdline
          window asap as it can have a different highlight through
          hl-MsgArea; thus further delaying until the first event that
          needs a particular target seems redundant). Load the cmdline
          highlighter on the first cmdline_show event.
