We've made a few small changes to reduce the amount of stack we use when
typechecking nested method calls (eg `foo:bar():baz():quux()`).
We've also fixed a small bytecode compiler issue that caused us to emit
redundant jump instructions in code that conditionally uses `break` or
`continue`.
On the new solver, we've switched to a new, better way to handle
augmentations to unsealed tables. We've also made some substantial
improvements to type inference and error reporting on function calls.
These things should both be on par with the old solver now.
The main improvements to the native code generator have been elimination
of some redundant type tag checks. Also, we are starting to inline
particular fastcalls directly to IR.

* Support `["prop"]` syntax on class definitions in definition files.
(#704)
* Improve type checking performance for complex overloaded functions
* Fix rare cases of incorrect stack traces for out of memory errors at
runtime
- Type aliases can no longer override primitive types; attempts to do
that will result in a type error
- Fix misleading type error messages for mismatches in expression list
length during assignment
- Fix incorrect type name display in certain cases
- setmetatable/getmetatable are now ~2x faster
- tools/perfstat.py can be used to display statistics about profiles
captured via --profile switch
* Fix free Luau type being fully overwritten by 'any' and causing UAF
* Fix lua_clonefunction implementation replacing top instead of pushing
* Falsey values other than false can now narrow refinements
* Fix lua_getmetatable, lua_getfenv not waking thread up
* FIx a case where lua_objlen could push a new string without thread wakeup or GC
* Moved Luau math and bit32 definitions to definition file
* Improve Luau parse recovery of incorrect return type token
Changes:
- Support for time tracing for analysis/compiler (not currently exposed
through CLI)
- Support for type pack arguments in type aliases (#83)
- Basic support for require(path) in luau-analyze
- Add a lint warning for table.move with 0 index as part of
TableOperation lint
- Remove last STL dependency from Luau.VM
- Minor VS2022 performance tuning
