fix(lua): improve annotations for stricter luals diagnostics (#24609)
Problem: luals returns stricter diagnostics with bundled luarc.json
Solution: Improve some function and type annotations:

* use recognized uv.* types 
* disable diagnostic for global `vim` in shared.lua
* docs: don't start comment lines with taglink (otherwise LuaLS will interpret it as a type)
* add type alias for lpeg pattern
* fix return annotation for `vim.secure.trust`
* rename local Range object in vim.version (shadows `Range` in vim.treesitter)
* fix some "missing fields" warnings
* add missing required fields for test functions in eval.lua
* rename lsp meta files for consistency

VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar
Testing Vim and Vim script *testing-support*
Expression evaluation is explained in |eval.txt|. This file goes into details
about writing tests in Vim script. This can be used for testing Vim itself
and for testing plugins.
1. Testing Vim |testing|
2. Test functions |test-functions-details|
3. Assert functions |assert-functions-details|
==============================================================================
1. Testing Vim *testing*
Vim can be tested after building it, usually with "make test".
The tests are located in the directory "src/testdir".
*new-style-testing*
New tests should be added as new style tests. The test scripts are named
test_<feature>.vim (replace <feature> with the feature under test). These use
functions such as |assert_equal()| to keep the test commands and the expected
result in one place.
Find more information in the file src/testdir/README.txt.
==============================================================================
2. Test functions *test-functions-details*
See |test_garbagecollect_now()|.
==============================================================================
3. Assert functions *assert-functions-details*
See:
- |assert_beeps()|
- |assert_equal()|
- |assert_equalfile()|
