Having the location where the table type is defined is useful for
tracking other info such as documentation comments, or pointing back
through "Go To Definition" functionality etc.
This adds in the required info
Closes#718
We pass an extra `contents` parameter to the string callback function to
provide contextual information for autocomplete.
Because we support both string literals and simple interpolated strings,
we pass it through as a `std::string` value.
This is a breaking change
* Fixed garbage data in module scopes when type graph is not retained
* LOP_MOVE with the same source and target registers is no longer
generated (Fixes https://github.com/Roblox/luau/issues/793)
* Fixed unions of `nil` types displaying as `?`
* Internal normalization now handles class types which can make
previously failing (incorrectly) sub-typing checks to succeed
* The AST JSON encoder will now stringify infinity and NaN according to the JSON5 spec using the tokens `Infinity`, `-Infinity`, and `NaN`.
* Improve autocompletion of table keys if the type of that key is a union of string singletons.
* Type mismatch errors now mention if unification failed in covariant or
invariant context, to explain why sometimes derived class can't be
converted to base class or why `T` can't be converted into `T?` and so
on
* Class type indexing is no longer an error in non-strict mode (still an
error in strict mode)
* Fixed cyclic type packs not being displayed in the type
* Added an error when unrelated types are compared with `==`/`~=`
* Fixed false positive errors involving sub-type tests an `never` type
* Fixed miscompilation of multiple assignment statements (Fixes
https://github.com/Roblox/luau/issues/754)
* Type inference stability improvements
Currently, the metatable of a class type var is not correctly checked to
see if it is callable (i.e. has a `__call` metatable).
We resolve this issue by checking the metatable in `checkCallOverload`
Fixes#756

Closes#631
Performs a "two pass" approach, where we first call `prototype` on the
class definition.
The prototype phase checks for errors and creates a base CTV for the
class, which other types can then reference.
The second `check` phase fills it out with all the defined
properties/methods

String interpolation autocomplete was not working and was just using
default autocomplete. This fixes it so that inside a string it is
treated as normal, and inside an expression it suggests expression level
autocomplete.
Also fixes the range, which was previously just the first lexeme.
* Type inference of `a and b` and `a or b` has been improved (Fixes
https://github.com/Roblox/luau/issues/730)
* Improved error message when `for ... in x` loop iterates over a value
that could be 'nil'
* Return type of `next` not includes 'nil' (Fixes
https://github.com/Roblox/luau/issues/706)
* Improved type inference of `string` type
* Luau library table type names are now reported as `typeof(string)`/etc
instead of just `string` which was misleading
* Added parsing error when optional type alias type parameter wasn't
provided after `=` token
* Improved tagged union type refinement in conditional expressions, type
in `else` branch should no longer include previously handled union
options
* Reduce the stack utilization of type checking.
* Improve the error message that's reported when a delimiting comma is
missing from a table literal. eg
```lua
local t = {
first = 1
second = 2
}```
* https://github.com/Roblox/luau/pull/719
* Improved `Failed to unify type packs` error message to be reported as
`Type pack 'X' could not be converted into 'Y'`
* https://github.com/Roblox/luau/pull/722
* 1% reduction in executed instruction count by removing a check in fast
call dispatch
* Additional fixes to reported error location of OOM errors in VM
* Improve `math.sqrt`, `math.floor` and `math.ceil` performance on
additional compilers and platforms (1-2% geomean improvement including
8-9% on math-cordic)
* All thrown exceptions by Luau analysis are derived from
`Luau::InternalCompilerError`
* When a call site has fewer arguments than required, error now reports
the location of the function name instead of the argument to the
function
* https://github.com/Roblox/luau/pull/724
* Fixed https://github.com/Roblox/luau/issues/725

Right now `getDocumentationSymbol` on an overloaded class method or
table prop just gives the prop name, not prepended with `/overload/ +
toString(overload)`.
This causes the incorrect symbol to be used for `table.insert`,
`BrickColor.new`, `Color3.new` etc. (present in
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MaximumADHD/Roblox-Client-Tracker/roblox/api-docs/en-us.json)

* 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
Name the parameters used in `math` lib
This is mainly done to highlight the particular confusion for
`math.atan2`, where `y` comes before `x`, but this might not be
immediately obvious.
And then I added the rest of the names for consistency.
Note: I didn't add names to `math.random` as it's currently typed as
`(number?, number?) -> number`. Naming it `min` and `max` is technically
incorrect for the 1 argument version.
Maybe it should be typed as an intersection instead?
`Frontend.markDirty()` does not correctly mark reverse dependencies that
are not immediate as dirty.
This is because it would keep adding the reverse deps of `name` into the
queue to mark as dirty, instead of the reverse deps of `next`
* Reoptimized math.min/max/bit32 builtins assuming at least 2 arguments are used (1-2% lift on some benchmarks)
* Type errors that mention function types no longer have redundant parenthesis around return type
* Luau REPL now supports --compile=remarks which displays the source code with optimization remarks embedded as comments
* Builtin calls are slightly faster when called with 1-2 arguments (~1% improvement in some benchmarks)

Fixes a bug where the environment scope is not passed to the autocomplete typechecker, so environment-related types are not provided.
This caused an issue where `getModuleEnvironment` returns `typeChecker.globalScope` when there is no environment. We pass this through to `typeCheckerForAutocomplete.check()` then environmentscope is no longer nullopt and it will use `typeChecker.globalScope` instead of falling back to `typeCheckerForAutocomplete.globalScope`.
This is solved by passing `forAutocomplete` to `getModuleEnvironment` so it falls back to the autocomplete global scope if none found.

Closes#599
Not sure if these context definitions are distinct enough, but they work for my use cases.
I repurposed (a majority of) the existing unit tests for this, but if it should live in separate test cases let me know
