This PR refactors the CLI folder to use the same project split between
include and src directories that we have for all the other artifacts in
luau. It also includes the require-by-string implementation we already
have as a feature of `Luau.CLI.lib`. Both of these changes are targeted
at making it easier for embedding projects to setup an effective
equivalent to the standalone `luau` executable with whatever runtime
libraries they need attached and without having to unnecessarily
duplicate code from luau itself.
## New Solver
* Type functions should be able to signal whether or not irreducibility
is due to an error
* Do not generate extra expansion constraint for uninvoked user-defined
type functions
* Print in a user-defined type function reports as an error instead of
logging to stdout
* Many e-graphs bugfixes and performance improvements
* Many general bugfixes and improvements to the new solver as a whole
* Fixed issue with used-defined type functions not being able to call
each other
* Infer types of globals under new type solver
## Fragment Autocomplete
* Miscellaneous fixes to make interop with the old solver better
## Runtime
* Support disabling specific built-in functions from being fast-called
or constant-evaluated (Closes#1538)
* New compiler option `disabledBuiltins` accepts a list of library
function names like "tonumber" or "math.cos"
* Added constant folding for vector arithmetic
* Added constant propagation and type inference for vector globals
(Fixes#1511)
* New compiler option `librariesWithKnownMembers` accepts a list of
libraries for members of which a request for constant value and/or type
will be made
* `libraryMemberTypeCb` callback is called to get the type of a global,
return one of the `LuauBytecodeType` values. 'boolean', 'number',
'string' and 'vector' type are supported.
* `libraryMemberConstantCb` callback is called to setup the constant
value of a global. To set a value, C API `luau_set_compile_constant_*`
or C++ API `setCompileConstant*` functions should be used.

## What's new?
* Add support for mixed-mode type checking, which allows modules checked
in the old type solver to be checked and autocompleted by the new one.
* Generalize `RequireResolver` to support require-by-string semantics in
`luau-analyze`.
* Fix a bug in incremental autocomplete where `DefId`s associated with
index expressions were not correctly picked up.
* Fix a bug that prevented "complex" types in generic parameters (for
example, `local x: X<(() -> ())?>`).
### Issues fixed
* #1507
* #1518

### What's New?
* Fragment Autocomplete: a new API allows for type checking a small
fragment of code against an existing file, significantly speeding up
autocomplete performance in large files.
### New Solver
* E-Graphs have landed: this is an ongoing approach to make the new type
solver simplify types in a more consistent and principled manner, based
on similar work (see: https://egraphs-good.github.io/).
* Adds support for exporting / local user type functions (previously
they were always exported).
* Fixes a set of bugs in which the new solver will fail to complete
inference for simple expressions with just literals and operators.
### General Updates
* Requiring a path with a ".lua" or ".luau" extension will now have a
bespoke error suggesting to remove said extension.
* Fixes a bug in which whether two `Luau::Symbol`s are equal depends on
whether the new solver is enabled.

# General Updates
* Fix some cases where documentation symbols would not be available when
mouseovering at certain positions in the code
* Scaffolding to help embedders have more control over how `typeof(x)`
refines types
* Refinements to require-by-string semantics. See
https://github.com/luau-lang/rfcs/pull/56 for details.
* Fix for https://github.com/luau-lang/luau/issues/1405
# New Solver
* Fix many crashes (thanks you for your bug reports!)
* Type functions can now call each other
* Type functions all evaluate in a single VM. This should improve
typechecking performance and reduce memory use.
* `export type function` is now forbidden and fails with a clear error
message
* Type functions that access locals in the surrounding environment are
now properly a parse error
* You can now use `:setindexer(types.never, types.never)` to delete an
indexer from a table type.

# What's Changed?
- Code refactoring with a new clang-format
- More bug fixes / test case fixes in the new solver
## New Solver
- More precise telemetry collection of `any` types
- Simplification of two completely disjoint tables combines them into a
single table that inherits all properties / indexers
- Refining a `never & <anything>` does not produce type family types nor
constraints
- Silence "inference failed to complete" error when it is the only error
reported

# What's Changed
## New Type Solver
- Many more fixes to crashes, assertions, and hangs
- Annotated locals now countermand the inferred types of locals, meaning
that for a type `type MyType = number | string`, `local foo : MyType =
5` behaves the same as `local foo = 5 :: MyType`, where before, foo
would be assigned the type of the value on the rhs.
- Type Normalization now respects resource limits.
- Subtyping between classes and cyclic tables now supported
## Native Code Generation
- Work on the Native Code Generation(NCG) allocator continues

# What's Changed
* Fix a case where the stack wasn't completely cleaned up where
`debug.info` errored when passed `"f"` option and a thread.
* Fix a case of uninitialized field in `luaF_newproto`.
### New Type Solver
* When a local is captured in a function, don't add a new entry to the
`DfgScope::bindings` if the capture occurs within a loop.
* Fix a poor performance characteristic during unification by not trying
to simplify an intersection.
* Fix a case of multiple constraints mutating the same blocked type
causing incorrect inferences.
* Fix a case of assertion failure when overload resolution encounters a
return typepack mismatch.
* When refining a property of the top `table` type, we no longer signal
an unknown property error.
* Fix a misuse of free types when trying to infer the type of a
subscript expression.
* Fix a case of assertion failure when trying to resolve an overload
from `never`.
### Native Code Generation
* Fix dead store optimization issues caused by partial stores.

# What's changed?
* Fix up the `std::iterator_traits` definitions for some Luau data
structures.
* Replace some of the usages of `std::unordered_set` and
`std::unordered_map` with Luau-provided data structures to increase
performance and reduce overall number of heap allocations.
* Update some of the documentation links in comments throughout the
codebase to correctly point to the moved repository.
* Expanded JSON encoder for AST to support singleton types.
* Fixed a bug in `luau-analyze` where exceptions in the last module
being checked during multithreaded analysis would not be rethrown.
### New type solver
* Introduce a `refine` type family to handle deferred refinements during
type inference, replacing the old `RefineConstraint`.
* Continued work on the implementation of type states, fixing some known
bugs/blockers.
* Added support for variadic functions in new non-strict mode, enabling
broader support for builtins and the Roblox API.

This PR resolves the RequireByString test suite failures in CI on
Ubuntu. The issue was that paths on linux are case sensitive and thus
MacOS/Windows machines simply behaved as if the paths to the test files
were case-insensitive, but the linux machine was unable to find the test
files. Those tests were `#ifdef'd` out, and have been un `#ifdef'd` to
demonstrate these changes work.
- Implemented [Require by String with Relative
Paths](https://github.com/luau-lang/rfcs/blob/master/docs/new-require-by-string-semantics.md)
RFC
- Implemented [Require by String with
Aliases](https://github.com/luau-lang/rfcs/blob/master/docs/require-by-string-aliases.md)
RFC with support for `paths` and `alias` arrays in .luarc
- Added SUBRK and DIVRK bytecode instructions to speed up
constant-number and constant/number operations
- Added `--vector-lib`, `--vector-ctor` and `--vector-type` options to
luau-compile to support code with vectors
New Solver
- Correctness fixes to subtyping
- Improvements to dataflow analysis
Native Code Generation
- Added bytecode analysis pass to predict type tags used in operations
- Fixed rare cases of numerical loops being generated without an
interrupt instruction
- Restored optimization data propagation into the linear block
- Duplicate buffer length checks are optimized away
Miscellaneous
- Small performance improvements to new non-strict mode
- Introduced more scripts for fuzzing Luau and processing the results,
including fuzzer build support for CMake
