Problem: Prompts are emitted as messages events, where cmdline events
are more appropriate. The user input is also emitted as
message events in fast context, so cannot be displayed with
vim.ui_attach().
Solution: Prompt for user input through cmdline prompts.
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`.

Problem: Vim9: in script cannot set item in uninitialized list.
Solution: When a list is NULL allocate an empty one. (closesvim/vim#8461)

N/A patches:
vim-patch:9.0.0829: wrong counts in macro comment
Problem: Peeking and flushing output slows down execution.
Solution: Do not update the mode message when global_busy is set. Do not
flush when only peeking for a character. (Ken Takata)

Problem
- `redir_exec` is obsolete, but it keeps getting used in new tests
because people copy existing tests.
- Disadvantages of `redir_exec`:
- Captures extra junk before the actual error/message that we _want_ to test.
- Does not fail on error, unlike e.g. `command()`.
Solution
- Use new functions like `nvim_exec` and `pcall_err`.
Problem:
Subdirectories like "visual", "insert", "normal" encourage people to
separate *related* tests for no good reason. Typically the _mode_ is
not the relevant topic of a test (and when it is, _then_ create
an appropriate describe() or it()).
Solution:
- Delete the various `test/functional/<mode>/` subdirectories, move
their tests to more meaningful topics.
- Rename `…/normal/` to `…/editor/`.
- Move or merge `…/visual/*` and `…/insert/*` tests into here where
appropriate.
- Rename `…/eval/` to `…/vimscript/`.
- Move `…/viml/*` into here also.
* test(reorg): insert/* => editor/mode_insert_spec.lua
* test(reorg): cmdline/* => editor/mode_cmdline_spec.lua
* test(reorg): eval core tests => eval_spec.lua
