Lewis Russell 65ef6fdaee build: replace LuaLS with EmmyLua
Problem: LuaLS struggles with the generics used in Nvim's runtime,
requiring broad diagnostic suppressions. Indexing is also slow.

Solution: Use EmmyLua for type checks in the build and CI. It offers
more sophisticated type checking, substantially better support for
generics, and much better flow analysis.

Correct the affected annotations. Use `@internal`, supported directly by
EmmyLua, instead of `@nodoc` for shared internal declarations, and
support it in the help parser.

--- @brief
---
--- The |vim.log| module provides file-backed logger instances.
---
--- Use `vim.log.new()` to create a logger, it exposes five writer functions:
--- `trace()`, `debug()`, `info()`, `warn()`, and `error()`.
--- They are correspond to log levels defined by |vim.log.levels|.
---
--- Example:
---
--- ```lua
--- local log = vim.log.new({ name = 'my-plugin', })
--- -- By default, logs will be written to {name}.log under `stdpath('log')`.
---
--- log.error('request failed', 'timeout')
--- -- This will write a line like the following to the log file:
--- -- [ERROR][2024-01-01 12:00:00] source.lua:123 request failed timeout
---
--- -- Set the log level to `INFO`, otherwise the `info()` call below would be ignored,
--- -- since the default level is `WARN`.
--- vim.log.set_level(log, vim.log.levels.INFO)
--- log.info('starting', { buf = vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf() })
--- -- This will write a line like the following to the log file:
--- -- [INFO][2024-01-01 12:01:00] source.lua:124 starting { buf = 1 }
--- ```
---
--- You can also provide a custom formatter function to customize the log output format.
---@class vim.Log
---
--- Display name used in notifications emitted by the logger.
---@field private name string
---
--- Minimum level that will be written.
---@field private level integer
---

---@field private format_func fun(min_level: vim.log.levels, level: vim.log.levels, ...): string?

---@field private logfile file?
