The `internal` param is difficult to explain, and will rarely be
anything but `true`. To avoid it, use a hack: check if the resolved
dict value starts with "function(".
Implement nvim_command_output with `execute({cmd},"silent")`.
Behavior changes:
- does not provoke any hit-enter prompt
- no longer prepends a newline char
- does not capture some noise (like the "[New File]" message, see the
change to tabnewentered_spec.lua)
Technically ("bug-for-bug") this a breaking change. But the previous
behavior of nvim_command_output meant that it probably wasn't used for
anything outside of tests.
Also remove the undocumented `v:command_output` variable which was
a hack introduced only for the purposes of nvim_command_output.

The "mapping" tests added in 541dde36e3 were flawed:
- Unlike op-pending mode, RPCs are _blocked_ during map-pending. So
a synchronous RPC like nvim_get_current_buf() waits until
'timeoutlen', then the mapping is canceled.
- helpers.expect() also performs a blocking RPC, so again that must not
intervene the two nvim_input() calls.
closes#6166
normal_finish_command() and normal_prepare() assume that any pending
operator needs to be finished after any subsequent key.
Set `finish_op = false` in nv_event() to indicate that the pending
operator shouldn't be finished in normal_execute().
This is how nv_visual() indicates that 'v' or 'V' in operator-pending
mode should not finish the current pending operator.
fixes#5398fixes#6166 (partially; mappings are still interrupted)
Asynchronous API functions are served immediately, which means pending
input could change the state of Nvim shortly after an async API function
result is returned.
nvim_get_mode() is different:
- If RPCs are known to be blocked, it responds immediately (without
flushing the input/event queue)
- else it is handled just-in-time before waiting for input, after
pending input was processed. This makes the result more reliable
(but not perfect).
Internally this is handled as a special case, but _semantically_ nothing
has changed: API users never know when input flushes, so this internal
special-case doesn't violate that. As far as API users are concerned,
nvim_get_mode() is just another asynchronous API function.
In all cases nvim_get_mode() never blocks for more than the time it
takes to flush the input/event queue (~µs).
Note: This doesn't address #6166; nvim_get_mode() will provoke #6166 if
e.g. `d` is operator-pending.
Closes#6159
Also re-word some error messages:
- "Key does not exist: %s"
- "Invalid channel: %<PRIu64>"
- "Request array size must be 4 (request) or 3 (notification)"
- "String cannot contain newlines"

During testing found the following bugs:
1. msgpack-gen.lua script is completely unprepared for Float values either in
return type or in arguments. Specifically:
1. At the time of writing relevant code FLOAT_OBJ did not exist as well as
FLOATING_OBJ, but it would be used by msgpack-gen.lua should return type
be Float. I added FLOATING_OBJ macros later because did not know that
msgpack-gen.lua uses these _OBJ macros, otherwise it would be FLOAT_OBJ.
2. msgpack-gen.lua should use .data.floating in place of .data.float. But it
did not expect that .data subattribute may have name different from
lowercased type name.
2. vim_replace_termcodes returned its argument as-is if it receives an empty
string (as well as _vim_id*() functions did). But if something in returned
argument lives in an allocated memory such action will cause double free:
once when freeing arguments, then when freeing return value. It did not cause
problems yet because msgpack bindings return empty string as {NULL, 0} and
nothing was actually allocated.
3. New code in msgpack-gen.lua popped arguments in reversed order, making lua
bindings’ signatures be different from API ones.
In Windows Lua's os.tmpname() returns relative paths starting with \s,
prepend them with $TEMP to generate a valid path.
In OS X os.tmpname() returns paths in '/tmp' but they should be in
'/private/tmp'. We cannot use os_name() for platform detection because
some tests use tempname() before nvim is spawned, instead use one of the
following:
1. Set SYSTEM_NAME environment variable before calling the tests, it
is set from CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME(i.e. uname -s or 'Windows')
2. Call uname -s
3. Assume windows
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.
