The PR branch had merge conflicts with `devel` due to a major compiler
refactoring that extracted type definitions from `compiler/ast.nim` into
a new `compiler/astdef.nim` file.
## Changes
- Resolved conflict in `compiler/ast.nim` by accepting `devel`'s
refactored structure
- Merged 763 commits from `devel` branch (commit range:
`ce6a345..b3273e7`)
- Preserved original PR changes removing deprecated symbols from
`lib/core/macros.nim`
The core PR functionality (removal of deprecated macros API since
v0.18.1) remains intact while incorporating the upstream AST
refactoring.

Each test must have a filename of the form: t*.nim
Note:Testament is only aware of tests under a directory (eg tests/foo/) and will ignore
top-level tests like tests/tbar.nim.
Specs
Each test can contain a spec in a discard """ ... """ block.
Check out the parseSpec procedure in the specs module for a full and reliable reference
action
Specifies what action this test should take.
Default: run
Options:
compile - compiles the module and fails the test if compilations fails.
run - compiles and runs the module, fails the test if compilation or
execution of test code fails.
reject - compiles the module and fails the test if compilation succeeds.
There are certain spec keys that imply run, including output and
outputsub.
Categories
Each folder under this directory represents a test category, which can be
tested by running koch tests pcat <category> (or cat to avoid parallel
testing, which is slower).
The folder dll contains simple DLL tests.
The folder realtimeGC contains a test for validating that the realtime GC
can run properly without linking against the nimrtl.dll/so.
