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.
Problem
- `redir_exec` is obsolete, but it keeps getting used in new tests
because people copy existing tests.
- Disadvantages of `redir_exec`:
- Captures extra junk before the actual error/message that we _want_ to test.
- Does not fail on error, unlike e.g. `command()`.
Solution
- Use new functions like `nvim_exec` and `pcall_err`.

The 'dump and read back mark " from a closed tab' test needs to actually
create a second tab. Since it wasn't doing so, the 'q!' command caused
nvim to exit and the subsequent 'qall' command fails.
Problem: Mark " is not set when closing a window in another tab. (Guraga)
Solution: Check all tabs for the window to be valid. (based on patch by
Hirohito Higashi, closesvim/vim#974)

It is otherwise impossible to determine which test failed sanitizer/valgrind
check. test/functional/helpers.lua module return was changed so that tests which
do not provide after_each function to get new check will automatically fail.
- Remove unused variables.
- Do not use helpers.nvim_feed in most cases.
- Do not use helpers.nvim and helpers.nvim_eval at all.
- Add helpers.funcs and helpers.\*meths special tables. Indexing such table
creates functions which call helpers.call or helpers.nvim (and similar) with
first argument equal to table index.
Some notes:
- Replaced msgpack_unpacker usage with regular xmalloc’ed buffer. Also since
msgpack_unpack_next (as well as msgpack_unpacker_next) is not ever going to
return MSGPACK_UNPACK_EXTRA_BYTES this condition was checked manually.
Function that does return this status is msgpack_unpack, but it is marked as
obsolete.
- Zero type is checked prior to main switch in shada_read_next_item because
otherwise check would be skipped.
- Zeroing entry at the start of shada_read_next_item makes it safer.
- dedent('') does not work.
- v:oldfiles list is only replaced with bang, if it is NULL or empty.
