Test colors were disabled in be7290d214
due to color codes interfering with the logs. I believe the solution to
disable colors is too aggressive. Reading raw logs isn't common compared
to reading CI results from the github UI. We should optimize the most
common use case.
It is also possible to interpret the colors codes in logs from neovim
with a plugin that interprets ansi escape sequences.
Problem:
1. Log messages (especially in CI) are hard to correlate with tests.
2. Since b353a5c05f#11886, dumplog() prints the logs next to test
failures. This is noisy and gets in the way of the test results.
Solution:
1. Associate an incrementing id with each test and include it in log
messages.
- FUTURE: add v:name so Nvim instances can be formally "named"?
2. Mention "child" in log messages if the current Nvim is a child (based
on the presence of $NVIM).

Problem:
13748512f6#15610 The no-colors codepath of the nvim.lua test output
handler does not handle nil, leading to weird symptoms if e.g. a test
has a syntax error:
test/busted/outputHandlers/nvim.lua:105: attempt to concatenate a nil value
Solution:
Coerce to string in no-colors handler.
Problem
-------
Because test/busted/outputHandlers/nvim.lua doesn't know if it's running
in a terminal (no "isatty" equivalent), it outputs color codes in CI
logs and local tooling that runs the tests in a pipe:
[1m[33m[ SKIPPED ][0m[0m [36m
This is just noise, hard for humans to read.
Solution
--------
Disable the color codes. If we later find a clever way to detect
a terminal in nvim.lua, we might consider re-enabling colors, but that
would still affect the CI build logs...
* tests: move "busted" dir to "test"
It is used for outputHandlers only, and clearly belongs to the tests.
Use the full module name with the `-o` option to `busted` then for
clarity.
