Problem: LPeg is hosted on a single unreliable external hoster, forcing
is to mirror it in neovim/deps, which adds maintenance friction. Also,
we have already vendored the Lua `re.lua` module.
Solution: Vendor all of LPeg v1.1.0; as development is not very active
anymore, this should not add much overhead (and allow us to simplify in
particular the Zig build scripts).
Note: LPeg defines a `luaL_newlib` macro for Lua 5.1, which conflicts
with LuaJIT's extension. This requires inlining the macro defined in
`lptypes.h` and used in `lptree.c`; see README.md for the patch.
* build(deps): bump tree-sitter to baad4174e
* build(deps): bump wasmtime to v48.0.0
Tree-sitter bumped their wasmtime dependency from v36 to v48 (the new LTS), so we must follow suit. This change brings in significant performance improvements for wasm parsers (although they are still significantly slower than native parsers).
The new lua based runner replaces Makefile, runnvim.sh and runnvim.vim
As it happens, we run a `--headless` nvim inside a `:terminal` layer,
this is pointless.
Also there is still a lot remnants for oldesttests, but we don't
have any except for test1.in which just checks the environment
for following, nonexistant oldesttests. so just skip that.
For now, the actual vimscript code which runs in vim-under-test is
completely unchanged.
On macos, luajit is finally working with the latest ziglua master.
Also fix some minor bugs regarding locales, such as incorrect
HAVE_WORKING_LIBINTL checks
Replace the busted-based Lua test runner with a repo-local harness.
The new harness runs spec files directly under `nvim -ll`, ships its own
reporter and lightweight `luassert` shim, and keeps the helper/preload
flow used by the functional and unit test suites.
Keep the file boundary model shallow and busted-like by restoring `_G`,
`package.loaded`, `package.preload`, `arg`, and the process environment
between files, without carrying extra reset APIs or custom assertion
machinery.
Update the build and test entrypoints to use the new runner, add
black-box coverage for the harness itself, and drop the bundled
busted/luacheck dependency path.

These were disabled as they failed when tested with cross-compiling,
but it works fine for windows natively on ci, so let's use that.
mac os builds after disabling debug info, which currently
triggers a bug in zig's MachO linker: natecraddock/ziglua#191
Tracking issue: https://codeberg.org/ziglang/zig/issues/30669
Unfortunately actually using the JIT of luajit still triggers
issues on mac os, so we cannot use it yet.
Also sync luajit version used via ziglua to a recent one
like we use in cmake, see natecraddock/ziglua#196
Problem:
build.zig always downloads dependencies and statically links them,
which is frowned upon by distro packagers.
Solution:
Add option to use system libraries.
