feat(test): use nvim_exec in helpers.source() #16064

helpers.source() was a hack to work around the lack of anonymous
:source. Its "create tempfile" behavior is not a required part of most
tests that use it.

Some tests still need the old "create tempfile" behavior either because
they test SID behavior, or because of missing nvim_exec features: #16071
