Sloppy code inherited from Vim caused user scripts to be able
to observe the cursor line in an invalid intermediary state,
due to Neovim change callbacks being unbuffered unlike Vim listeners.
Manifested in Vimscript executed from the callback possibly erroring
when `:call`:ing any function,
due to the implicit range `curwin->w_cursor.lnum,curwin->w_cursor.lnum`
failing validation.
Fixed by deferring the call to `changed_lines()` until after
`curwin->w_cursor.lnum` gets its correct value.
- We already find ourselves renaming nvim_execute_lua in tests and
scripts, which suggests "exec" is the verb we actually want.
- Add "exec" verb to `:help dev-api`.
- Add vim variable meta accessors: vim.env, vim.{g,v,w,bo,wo}
- Redo gen_char_blob to generate multiple blobs instead of just one
so that multiple Lua modules can be inlined.
- Reorder vim.lua inclusion so that it can use previously defined C
functions and utility functions like vim.shared and vim.inspect things.
- Inline shared.lua into nvim, but also keep it available in runtime.
Mainly configuration and RPC infrastructure can be considered "done". Specific requests and their callbacks will be improved later (and also served by plugins). There are also some TODO:s for the client itself, like incremental updates.

We often want to do type checking of public function arguments.
- test: Rename utility_function_spec.lua to vim_spec.lua
- .luacov: Map lua module names
compared to vim.api.|nvim_call_function|, this fixes some typing issues
due to the indirect conversion via the API. float values are preserved
as such (fixes#9389) as well as empty dicts/arrays.
Ref https://github.com/norcalli/nvim.lua for the call syntax
- Rename `meth_pcall`.
- Make `pcall_err` raise an error if the function does not fail.
- Add `vim.pesc()` to treat a string as literal where a Lua pattern is
expected.
