Problem:
The magic globals `it`, `describe`, etc., are more trouble than they are
worth.
- Hooking into `after_each` requires `getfenv()` hacks.
- They confuse luals/emmylua, because the top-level `.luarc.json` isn't
merged with `test/.luarc.json` (apparently a luals limitation?)
- They totally defeat discoverability because the user just has to
"know" about the various magic symbols.
So they harm DX, which means they serve no purpose at all.
Solution:
- Expose the test API from `testutil`, so tests can call `t.it()`,
`t.describe()`, etc., in the conventional way.
- Drop `getfenv()` hacks.
- Drop the `setfenv()` injection in `load_chunk`.
- Drop `test/_meta.lua`.
Problem:
- Lua<=>API roundtrips
- Although we prefer Lua for most business-logic code, doing this
conversion in C makes sense in this case because:
1. setting options is a hot path
2. most of the options logic lives in C
3. the current arrangement is MORE verbose and requires MORE code
Solution:
Move conversion to a C util.
- nvim_set_option_value passes the raw Object (scalar, Array, or Dict)
to `object_as_optval_for()` which flattens it to the canonical `:set`
string and validates the type.
- drop `convert_value_to_vim`, eliminate its roundtrip.
Replace the busted-based Lua test runner with a repo-local harness.
The new harness runs spec files directly under `nvim -ll`, ships its own
reporter and lightweight `luassert` shim, and keeps the helper/preload
flow used by the functional and unit test suites.
Keep the file boundary model shallow and busted-like by restoring `_G`,
`package.loaded`, `package.preload`, `arg`, and the process environment
between files, without carrying extra reset APIs or custom assertion
machinery.
Update the build and test entrypoints to use the new runner, add
black-box coverage for the harness itself, and drop the bundled
busted/luacheck dependency path.

Before functional/testnvim.lua was moved from functional/testutil.lua in
052498ed42, it was explicitly preloaded,
but now it is preloaded implicitly via functional/ui/screen.lua.
Also fix warnings about unused variables in other preload.lua files.
This avoids redraw when adding/removing an empty namespace for a window.
This also avoids marktree traversal when clearing a namespace that has
already been cleared, which is added as a benchmark.
Specifically, functions that are run in the context of the test runner
are put in module `test/testutil.lua` while the functions that are run
in the context of the test session are put in
`test/functional/testnvim.lua`.
Closes https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/27004.
`utf_char2cells()` calls `utf_printable()` twice (sometimes indirectly,
through `vim_isprintc()`) for characters >= 128. The function can be
refactored to call to it only once.
`utf_printable()` uses binary search on ranges of unprintable characters
to determine if a given character is printable. Since there are only 9
ranges, and the first range contains only one character, binary search
can be replaced with SSE2 SIMD comparisons that check 8 ranges at a
time, and the first range is checked separately. SSE2 is enabled by
default in GCC, Clang and MSVC for x86-64.
Add 3-byte utf-8 to screenpos_spec benchmarks.
Problem:
Currently `deepcopy` hashes every single tables it copies so it can be
reused. For tables of mostly unique items that are non recursive, this
hashing is unnecessarily expensive
Solution:
Port the `noref` argument from Vimscripts `deepcopy()`.
The below benchmark demonstrates the results for two extreme cases of
tables of different sizes. One table that uses the same table lots of
times and one with all unique tables.
| test | `noref=false` (ms) | `noref=true` (ms) |
| -------------------- | ------------------ | ----------------- |
| unique tables (50) | 6.59 | 2.62 |
| shared tables (50) | 3.24 | 6.40 |
| unique tables (2000) | 23381.48 | 2884.53 |
| shared tables (2000) | 3505.54 | 14038.80 |
The results are basically the inverse of each other where `noref` is
much more performance on tables with unique fields, and `not noref` is
more performant on tables that reuse fields.
Problem:
Not all Lua code is checked by stylua. Automating code-style is an
important mechanism for reducing time spent on accidental
(non-essential) complexity.
Solution:
- Enable lintlua for `test/unit/` directory.
- TODO: only `test/functional/` remains unchecked.

Instead of nested linked lists, store autocommands in a flat, contiguous
kvec_t, with one kvec_t per event type. Previously patterns were stored
in each node of the outer linked list, so they can be matched only once
on repeating patterns. They are now reference counted and referenced in
each autocommand, and matching is skipped if the pattern repeats. Speeds
up creation and deletion, execution is not affected.

Vim creates these scripts in test1 depending on what build features
are enabled so that tests that use these features are skiped if
necessary. Because Neovim only has one type of build (and the features
+eval, +windows, and +multi-byte are enabled in this build) they are
not necessary.
