Rationale: the purpose of nvim_execute_lua is to simply call lua code with lua
values. If a lua function expects a floating point value, it should be enough
to specify a float as argument to nvim_execute_lua.
However, make sure to preserve the existing roundtripping behavior of
API values when using `vim.api` functions. This is covered by existing
lua/api_spec.lua tests.
