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.
Hope this will make people using feed_command less likely: this hides bugs.
Already found at least two:
1. msgpackparse() will show internal error: hash_add() in case of duplicate
keys, though it will still work correctly. Currently silenced.
2. ttimeoutlen was spelled incorrectly, resulting in option not being set when
expected. Test was still functioning somehow though. Currently fixed.
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.
Problem: Value of v:hlsearch reflects an internal variable.
Solution: Make the value reflect whether search highlighting is actually
displayed. (Christian Brabandt)

The vim_input function accepts raw terminal input and so is better to emulate
real user, especially because it is not deferred as vim_feedkeys.
Using this function required a number of changes:
- expect() was refactored to use curbuf_contents()
- The vim_eval function in request() was moved to curbuf_contents(). For most
cases this is enough(we only care for synchronizing api calls with user input
when verifying buffer contents).
- <C-@>(NUL) is preprocessed before being passed to replace_termcodes.
- Legacy test 4 had a bug that only became visible when using vim_input, it is
fixed now.
- An extra blank line deletion was required for test 101
The last two items show that vim_feedkeys because it is not 100% equivalent to
receiving terminal input.
