After PR #8226 an unmapped META key in insert mode behaves like ESC-<key> (:help i_META). The behaviour does not fully match, since if <Esc>-<key> is pressed manually then since it were pressed manually `gotchars` would be called on the second <key> after insert-mode had already been left. This would mean that `may_sync_undo` (called from `gotchars`) would call `u_sync(FALSE)` on the second key (since we would be in normal mode). This overall means that <Meta-[something]> behaves differently with respect to undo than <Esc>[something] when the [something] makes a change. As an example, under `nvim -u NONE`: ihello<M-.>u leaves the buffer empty, while ihello<Esc>.u leaves the buffer with one instance of `hello`. - Fix by calling u_sync() manually in the new clause under `normalchar:` in `insert_handle_key`. - Update test in tui_spec.lua that accidentally relied on the old behaviour.
