Replace the busted-based Lua test runner with a repo-local harness.

The new harness runs spec files directly under `nvim -ll`, ships its own
reporter and lightweight `luassert` shim, and keeps the helper/preload
flow used by the functional and unit test suites.

Keep the file boundary model shallow and busted-like by restoring `_G`,
`package.loaded`, `package.preload`, `arg`, and the process environment
between files, without carrying extra reset APIs or custom assertion
machinery.

Update the build and test entrypoints to use the new runner, add
black-box coverage for the harness itself, and drop the bundled
busted/luacheck dependency path.

test: make preload of functional/testnvim.lua explicit (#35919) 2025-09-26T01:05:07+00:00 zeertzjq zeertzjq@outlook.com 2025-09-26T01:05:07+00:00 a0a86fdc049a8e2b28537b0ec0b35c1c45289f2a Before functional/testnvim.lua was moved from functional/testutil.lua in 052498ed42780a76daea589d063cd8947a894673, it was explicitly preloaded, but now it is preloaded implicitly via functional/ui/screen.lua. Also fix warnings about unused variables in other preload.lua files.

Run the global before_each() before all other before_each(), so that
clear() uses the test ID of the current test, not the previous one.

Don't skip generating test IDs for skipped tests, as that'll make a
skipped test have the same test ID as the previous one.

fix(tests): only get the color map once, even for multiple test files

Problem: test/functional/ui/screen.lua would be reloaded for each
*_spec.lua file, which causes an extra nvim session to be started
to get the color map each time.

solution: Mark screen.lua as a preloaded file, but defer the
loading of the color map to the first time Screen object is initialised.
