We often want to do type checking of public function arguments.
- test: Rename utility_function_spec.lua to vim_spec.lua
- .luacov: Map lua module names
compared to vim.api.|nvim_call_function|, this fixes some typing issues
due to the indirect conversion via the API. float values are preserved
as such (fixes#9389) as well as empty dicts/arrays.
Ref https://github.com/norcalli/nvim.lua for the call syntax
- Rename `meth_pcall`.
- Make `pcall_err` raise an error if the function does not fail.
- Add `vim.pesc()` to treat a string as literal where a Lua pattern is
expected.

Implement lazy loading for vim.submodule, this would be over-engineering
for inspect only, but we expect to use this solution also for more and
larger modules.
Instead of eager-loading during plugin/* sourcing, define runtime
modules such as `vim.inspect` as lazy builtins. Otherwise non-builtin
Lua modules such as `vim.inspect` would not be available during startup
(init.vim, `-c`, `--cmd`, …).
ref #6580
ref #8677
- Return VimL errors instead of generic errors for:
- nvim_call_function
- nvim_call_dict_function
- Fix tests which were silently broken before this change.
This violates #6150 where we agreed not to translate API errors. But
that can be fixed later.
Reasoning is majorly the same: check whether lua has bug or API function has
bug, but on the other side: previous commit is checking whether similar bug when
using API via msgpack RPC, this commit is checking whether another API function
used via lua bindings triggers the same bug. Should additionally give a hint
about which lua code contains a bug.
