6d8c8b18d5 test(harness): migrate away from magic globals
Problem:
The magic globals `it`, `describe`, etc., are more trouble than they are
worth.

- Hooking into `after_each` requires `getfenv()` hacks.
- They confuse luals/emmylua, because the top-level `.luarc.json` isn't
  merged with `test/.luarc.json` (apparently a luals limitation?)
- They totally defeat discoverability because the user just has to
  "know" about the various magic symbols.

So they harm DX, which means they serve no purpose at all.

Solution:
- Expose the test API from `testutil`, so tests can call `t.it()`,
  `t.describe()`, etc., in the conventional way.
- Drop `getfenv()` hacks.
- Drop the `setfenv()` injection in `load_chunk`.
- Drop `test/_meta.lua`.

052498ed42 test: improve test conventions
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`.

Closes https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/27004.

65fb622000 functests: Replace execute with either command or feed_command
Hope this will make people using feed_command less likely: this hides bugs.
Already found at least two:

1. msgpackparse() will show internal error: hash_add() in case of duplicate
   keys, though it will still work correctly. Currently silenced.
2. ttimeoutlen was spelled incorrectly, resulting in option not being set when
   expected. Test was still functioning somehow though. Currently fixed.

ff470bb853 functests: Check logs in lua code
It is otherwise impossible to determine which test failed sanitizer/valgrind
check. test/functional/helpers.lua module return was changed so that tests which
do not provide after_each function to get new check will automatically fail.

c1b0c45bee tests: Fix migrated legacy test.
The test involves argument and buffer numbers.  Therefore it was necessary to
use a custom testing session to ensure that the initial buffer corresponds to
an argument.
