Problem:
On some non-US keyboards, like Estonian/Swedish/etc, widely used []
characters in vim are hard to type. One way to overcome this is to use langmap
option to map accented characters, that are in the same place as [] on US
keyboards to []. Unfortunately this does not work currently in neovim, it
cannot map multibyte characters via langmap.
Solution:
The fix iterates over characters in typeahead and key buffers, instead of bytes,
in getchar.c handle_mapping(). It does not handle macros though, these tests are
still failing when turned on.

Usually 'langmap' is used to map keyboard characters to ASCII motions or
mappings. It's not entirely clear what the purpose of mapping to Unicode
characters is, but since there is no error for mapping between two chars
both >= 256, only give a warning that this will not work properly when
mapping from a char < 256 to a char >= 256.
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: Using \{xxx} for encoding a modifier is not nice.
Solution: Use \<*xxx> instead, since it's the same as \<xxx> but producing a
different code.

Use this notation in langmap_spec.
Problem:
Subdirectories like "visual", "insert", "normal" encourage people to
separate *related* tests for no good reason. Typically the _mode_ is
not the relevant topic of a test (and when it is, _then_ create
an appropriate describe() or it()).
Solution:
- Delete the various `test/functional/<mode>/` subdirectories, move
their tests to more meaningful topics.
- Rename `…/normal/` to `…/editor/`.
- Move or merge `…/visual/*` and `…/insert/*` tests into here where
appropriate.
- Rename `…/eval/` to `…/vimscript/`.
- Move `…/viml/*` into here also.
* test(reorg): insert/* => editor/mode_insert_spec.lua
* test(reorg): cmdline/* => editor/mode_cmdline_spec.lua
* test(reorg): eval core tests => eval_spec.lua
