Problem:
vim.uv.spawn will emit ENOENT for either when the cmd or cwd do not
exist and does not tell you which.
Solution:
If an error occurs, check if cwd was supplied and included in the error
message if it does not exist.
(cherry picked from commit 532610388b)
Problem:
When a command is not found or not executable, the error message gives
no indication about what command was actually tried.
Solution:
Always append the command name to the error message.

(cherry picked from commit 223ac7782e)
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`.

Problem:
Processing non-fast events during SystemObj:wait() may cause two pieces
of code to interfere with each other, and is different from jobwait().
Solution:
Don't process non-fast events during SystemObj:wait().
feat(lua): add vim.system()
Problem:
Handling system commands in Lua is tedious and error-prone:
- vim.fn.jobstart() is vimscript and comes with all limitations attached to typval.
- vim.loop.spawn is too low level
Solution:
Add vim.system().
Partly inspired by Python's subprocess module
Does not expose any libuv objects.
