Before calling "attach" a screen object is just a dummy container for
(row, col) values whose purpose is to be sent as part of the "attach"
function call anyway.
Just create the screen in an attached state directly. Keep the complete
(row, col, options) config together. It is still completely valid to
later detach and re-attach as needed, including to another session.
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`.

This is the command invoked repeatedly to make the changes:

Extend the capabilities of is_os to detect more platforms such as
freebsd and openbsd. Also remove `iswin()` helper function as it can be
replaced by `is_os("win")`.
These were just added to avoid churn when changing the default
of 'display'. To simplify message handling logic, we might want
to remove support for printing messages in default_grid later on.
This would allow things like printing error messages safely in the
middle of redraw, or a future graduation of the 'multigrid' feature.
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- `redir_exec` is obsolete, but it keeps getting used in new tests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`.
- We already find ourselves renaming nvim_execute_lua in tests and
scripts, which suggests "exec" is the verb we actually want.
- Add "exec" verb to `:help dev-api`.
