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.

Implement lazy loading for vim.submodule, this would be over-engineering
for inspect only, but we expect to use this solution also for more and
larger modules.
Instead of eager-loading during plugin/* sourcing, define runtime
modules such as `vim.inspect` as lazy builtins. Otherwise non-builtin
Lua modules such as `vim.inspect` would not be available during startup
(init.vim, `-c`, `--cmd`, …).
ref #6580
ref #8677
- Return VimL errors instead of generic errors for:
- nvim_call_function
- nvim_call_dict_function
- Fix tests which were silently broken before this change.
This violates #6150 where we agreed not to translate API errors. But
that can be fixed later.
