fix(treesitter): run FileType autocmds in the context of `<abuf>`

Problem: many FileType autocommands assume curbuf is the same as the target
buffer; this can cause &syntax to be restored for the wrong buffer in some cases
when TSHighlighter:destroy is called.

Solution: run nvim_exec_autocmds in the context of the target buffer via
nvim_buf_call.
