patch 8.0.1013: terminal window behaves different from a buffer with changesv8.0.1013
Problem: A terminal window with a running job behaves different from a window containing a changed buffer. Solution: Do not set 'bufhidden' to "hide". Fix that a buffer where a terminal used to run is listed as "[Scratch]".

To have a background job run without a window, and open the window when it's
done, use options like this: >
