When --vector-lib is not specified, CompileOptions::vectorLib was set to
an empty string. This resulted in the builtin matching not working,
since vectorLib must either be a null pointer or a pointer to a valid
global identifier.

# Old Solver:
- Fix a bug in the old solver where a user could use the keyword
`typeof` as the name of a type alias.
- Fix stringification of scientific notation to omit a trailing decimal
place when not followed by a digit e.g. `1.e+20` -> `1e+20`
# New Solver
- Continuing work on the New non-strict mode
- Introduce `keyof` and `rawkeyof` type function for acquiring the type
of all keys in a table or class

# What's changed?
* Fixed a bug in type cloning by maintaining persistent types.
* We now parse imprecise integer literals to report the imprecision as a
warning to developers.
* Add a compiler flag to specify the name of the statistics output file.
### New type solver
* Renamed `ConstraintGraphBuilder` to `ConstraintGenerator`
* LValues now take into account the type being assigned during
constraint generation.
* Normalization performance has been improved by 33% by replacing the an
internal usage of `std::unordered_set` with `DenseHashMap`.
* Normalization now has a helper to identify types that are equivalent
to `unknown`, which is being used to fix some bugs in subtyping.
* Uses of the old unifier in the new type solver have been eliminated.
* Improved error explanations for subtyping errors in `TypeChecker2`.
### Native code generation
* Expanded some of the statistics recorded during compilation to include
the number of instructions and blocks.
* Introduce instruction and block count limiters for controlling what
bytecode is translated into native code.
* Implement code generation for byteswap instruction.

### What's Changed
- Improve readability of unions and intersections by limiting the number
of elements of those types that can be presented on a single line (gated
under `FFlag::LuauToStringSimpleCompositeTypesSingleLine`)
- Adds a new option to the compiler `--record-stats` to record and
output compilation statistics
- `if...then...else` expressions are now optimized into `AND/OR` form
when possible.
### VM
- Add a new `buffer` type to Luau based on the [buffer
RFC](https://github.com/Roblox/luau/pull/739) and additional C API
functions to work with it; this release does not include the library.
- Internal C API to work with string buffers has been updated to align
with Lua version more closely
### Native Codegen
- Added support for new X64 instruction (rev) and new A64 instruction
(bswap) in the assembler
- Simplified the way numerical loop condition is translated to IR
### New Type Solver
- Operator inference now handled by type families
- Created a new system called `Type Paths` to explain why subtyping
tests fail in order to improve the quality of error messages.
- Systematic changes to implement Data Flow analysis in the new solver
(`Breadcrumb` removed and replaced with `RefinementKey`)
