Also fixes incorrect location of `tv_dict_add` function and three bugs in other
functions:
1. `tv_dict_add_list` may free list it does not own (vim/vim#1555).
2. `tv_dict_add_dict` may free dictionary it does not own (vim/vim#1555).
3. `tv_dict_add_dict` ignores `key_len` argument.
Additional modifications:
- More `const` qualifiers in tested functions.
- `tv_list_find_str()` second argument is more in-line with other
`tv_list_find*()` functions.
Tests crash at some point without
- `after_each(collectgarbage)` right before “typval.c list copy() copies list
correctly and converts items” test.
- Commenting out that test.
- Adding `collectgarbage()` after the test (what actually this commit does).
Adding `collectgarbage()` to top-level `after_each` block right after
`restore_allocators` makes running this file crash even if it is run alone.
Also found some bugs:
1. var_item_copy() always fails to copy v:_null_list and v:_null_dict. Fixing
this should mean fixing `deepcopy(v:_null_list)` which should’ve been, but
was not listed in #4615. This also fixes `deepcopy(v:_null_dict)`.
2. var_item_copy() crashes when trying to copy NULL string with `conv != NULL`.
3. `conv` argument is ignored when copying list unless `deep` is true, but it
was not reflected in documentation.
4. `tv_dict_item_alloc_len()` allocated more memory then needed.
5. typvalt2lua was not able to handle self-referencing containers.
Used
sed -r -i -e '/ helpers =/ s/$/\nlocal itp = helpers.gen_itp(it)/; s/^(\s*)it\(/\1itp(/' test/unit/**/*_spec.lua
to alter all tests. Locally they all run fine now.
Reasoning:
1. General: state from one test should not affect other tests.
2. Local: travis build is failing with something which may be an output of
garbage collector. This should prevent state of the garbage collector from
interferring as well.
Also fixed dumping of partials by encode_vim_to_object and added code which is
able to work with partials and dictionaries to test/unit/eval/helpers.lua
(mostly copied from #5119, except for partials handling).

Adds two undocumented v: variables: _null_list and _null_dict because I do not
know a reproducible way to get such lists (though I think I heard about this)
and dictionaries (do not remember hearing about them). NULL strings are obtained
using $XXX_UNEXISTENT_VAR_XXX.
Fixes crash in json_encode($XXX_UNEXISTENT_VAR_XXX). Other added tests worked
fine before this commit.
