Deleting a file that is the active buffer closes neovim

[taybart]

When deleting a file in the tree while having other files open, neovim closes if the deleted file is the current buffer.

I think this is related to auto_close but I am not sure.

Expected behavior: Switch to a different (potentially random) buffer

this is indeed related to auto_close.
Since removing the file which is the buffer, i close the buffer which delete the window, and nvim-tree is the last window then closes respecting the config option unfortunately. A better auto_close implementation is needed anyway

I can make a pr this weekend I think I see where I can put a fix in

PR is up, it was easier than I thought
