Tip #1391: Disable match paren restriction (visible lines -> whole file)

the matchparen.vim plugin (delivered with vim) restrict paren matching only to the current visible lines.
to change this behavior you need to change the following lines in the file ../plugin/matchparen.vim:

line: 102
let [m_lnum, m_col] = searchpairpos(c, '', c2, s_flags, s_skip, stopline)
to:
let [m_lnum, m_col] = searchpairpos(c, '', c2, s_flags, s_skip)

and line: 109
if m_lnum > 0 && m_lnum >= line('w0') && m_lnum <= line('w$')
to:
if m_lnum > 0
