closes#8362
Vim's code calls `call_shell` directly from `get_system_output_as_rettv`
whereas in Nvim this function has been rewritten to not call `call_shell` but to call
`os_system` via `do_os_system`, losing the support for profiling and verbose.
Changing the code to call `call_shell` from `get_system_output_as_rettv`
seems to be too complicated to be worth it on the current version of the
code. So this commit duplicates the relevant code.
It was added in the parent commit, but ended up not being used. And
I can't think of a case where it will be used: instead we would probably
want to generalize expect_msg_seq() if necessary.
First intended to provide %r functionality like in Python (and also support for
%*.*s, but this was not checked), second adds nice table formatting for use in
cases similar to screen:snapshot_util().
Avoids this error:
./test/helpers.lua:27: cannot open ./Xtest-tmpdir/nvimfqH9dL: No such file or directory
stack traceback:
./test/helpers.lua:27: in function 'glob'

./test/functional/helpers.lua:628: in function <./test/functional/helpers.lua:626>
- Do not exclude any directories from `find` search, remove dumps before tests
instead.
- Install `apport` on travis so that linux tests should produce core dumps
(based on information from travis-ci/travis-ci#3754, not sure whether it still
applies).
- Check cores in lua so that one has an idea which test is failing exactly. Do
this only 10% of time on linux because traversing the file system is slow.
Unit tests are still not touched, though it is what `app` argument in
`check_cores` is for.
TODO? consider using `find`, it may be faster. Consider retiring `os.execute`,
dealing with escaping is bad.
- Default to powershell.
- Avoid hardcoded "-c".
- Remove ^M character from received lines.
- pending_win32(): clear() is unnecessary and it pollutes the tests.
Closes#3973
