<title>fix(messages): `inputlist()` offers the mouse when it cannot be used (#41280)</title>

Problem:
`inputlist()` advertises "click with the mouse" purely because it
implements click selection, so under the default `'mouse'` of "nvi" it
offers a click that command-line mode never receives.

Solution:
Only offer the mouse when `'mouse'` covers command-line mode, the same
condition `:help inputlist()` already documents.</content>

<title>test(harness): migrate away from magic globals</title>

Problem:
The magic globals `it`, `describe`, etc., are more trouble than they are
worth.

- Hooking into `after_each` requires `getfenv()` hacks.
- They confuse luals/emmylua, because the top-level `.luarc.json` isn't
  merged with `test/.luarc.json` (apparently a luals limitation?)
- They totally defeat discoverability because the user just has to
  "know" about the various magic symbols.

So they harm DX, which means they serve no purpose at all.

Solution:
- Expose the test API from `testutil`, so tests can call `t.it()`,
  `t.describe()`, etc., in the conventional way.
- Drop `getfenv()` hacks.
- Drop the `setfenv()` injection in `load_chunk`.
- Drop `test/_meta.lua`.

<title>fix(tests): needing two calls to setup a screen is cringe</title>

Before calling "attach" a screen object is just a dummy container for
(row, col) values whose purpose is to be sent as part of the "attach"
function call anyway.

Just create the screen in an attached state directly. Keep the complete
(row, col, options) config together. It is still completely valid to
later detach and re-attach as needed, including to another session.

<title>refactor(api)!: rename Dictionary =&gt; Dict</title>

In the api_info() output:

    :new|put =map(filter(api_info().functions, '!has_key(v:val,''deprecated_since'')'), 'v:val')
    ...

    {'return_type': 'ArrayOf(Integer, 2)', 'name': 'nvim_win_get_position', 'method': v:true, 'parameters': [['Window', 'window']], 'since': 1}

The `ArrayOf(Integer, 2)` return type didn't break clients when we added
it, which is evidence that clients don't use the `return_type` field,
thus renaming Dictionary =&gt; Dict in api_info() is not (in practice)
a breaking change.

Problem:    Dialog for file changed outside of Vim not tested.
Solution:   Add a test.  Move FileChangedShell test.  Add 'L' flag to
            feedkeys().
