Fixes: https://github.com/Roblox/luau/issues/913
This PR adds support for type refinements around guard clauses that use
`break` and `continue` statements inside a loop, similar to how guard
clauses with `return` is supported.
I had some free time today, so I figure I'd give a shot at a naïve fix
for this at the very least.
---
## Resulting Change:
Luau now supports type refinements within loops where a `continue` or
`break` guard clause was used.
For example:
```lua
for _, object in objects :: {{value: string?}} do
if not object.value then
continue
end
local x: string = object.value -- OK; Used to emit "Type 'string?' could not be converted into 'string'"
end
```

* Rerun clang-format on the code

with inconsistent error reporting.

New Type Solver
* New overload selection logic
* Subtype tests now correctly treat a generic as its upper bound within
that generic's scope
* Semantic subtyping for negation types
* Semantic subtyping between strings and compatible table types like
`{lower: (string) -> string}`
* Further work toward finalizing our new subtype test
* Correctly generalize module-scope symbols
Native Codegen
* Lowering statistics for assembly
* Make executable allocation size/limit configurable without a rebuild.
Use `FInt::LuauCodeGenBlockSize` and `FInt::LuauCodeGenMaxTotalSize`.

* Fixed `Frontend::markDirty` not working on modules that were not
typechecked yet
* Fixed generic variadic function unification succeeding when it should
have reported an error
New Type Solver:
* Implemented semantic subtyping check for function types
Native Code Generation:
* Improved performance of numerical loops with a constant step
* Simplified IR for `bit32.extract` calls extracting first/last bits
* Improved performance of NaN checks
CLI/Reduce.cpp:
Never worked under MinGW as-is. Add check for MinGW as they're defined.
VM/src/lmem.cpp:
MinGW layout follows more closely MSVC. Checks before were only correct
for 32-bit gcc / clang in non-Windows.
NOTES:
__MINGW32__ is defined on both 32-bit and 64-bit, __MINGW64__ is 64-bit
only. 32-bit MinGW compilers (both Clang & GCC) have a floating point
test error on math.noise, specifically math.lua:258. All other test
cases / unit tests pass modulo stack size issues (so requires optimized build).

- Disabled reuse slot optimization
- Keep `LuaNode::val` check for nil when optimizing `CHECK_SLOT_MATCH`
- Implemented IR translation of `table.insert` builtin
- Fixed mmap error handling on macOS/Linux
# Tooling
- Used `|` as a column separator instead of `+` in `bench.py`
- Added a `table.sort` micro-benchmark
- Switched `libprotobuf-mutator` to a less problematic version
* AST queries at position where function name is will now return
AstExprLocal
* Lexer performance has been slightly improved
* Fixed incorrect string singleton autocomplete suggestions (fixes#858)
* Improved parsing error messages
* Fixed crash on null pointer access in unification (fixes#1017)
* Native code support is enabled by default and `native=1`
(make)/`LUAU_NATIVE` (CMake)/`-DLUA_CUSTOM_EXECUTION` configuration is
no longer required
New typechecker:
* New subtyping check can now handle generic functions and tables
(including those that contain cycles)
Native code generation:
* Loops with non-numeric parameters are now handled by VM to streamline
native code
* Array size check can be optimized away in SETLIST
* On failure, CodeGen::compile returns a reason
* Fixed clobbering of non-volatile xmm registers on Windows
* Fix a use-after-free bug in the new type cloning algorithm
* Tighten up the type of `coroutine.wrap`. It is now `<A..., R...>(f:
(A...) -> R...) -> ((A...) -> R...)`
* Break `.luaurc` out into a separate library target `Luau.Config`. This
makes it easier for applications to reason about config files without
also depending on the type inference engine.
* Move typechecking limits into `FrontendOptions`. This allows embedders
more finely-grained control over autocomplete's internal time limits.
* Fix stability issue with debugger onprotectederror callback allowing
break in non-yieldable contexts
New solver:
* Initial work toward [Local Type
Inference](0e1082108f/rfcs/local-type-inference.md)

* Cache lua_State::global in a register on A64
* Optimize constant stores in A64 lowering

* Better indentation in multi-line type mismatch error messages
* Error message clone can no longer cause a stack overflow (when
typechecking with retainFullTypeGraphs set to false); fixes
https://github.com/Roblox/luau/issues/975
* `string.format` with %s is now ~2x faster on strings smaller than 100
characters
Native code generation:
* All VM side exits will block return to the native execution of the
current function to preserve correctness
* Fixed executable page allocation on Apple platforms when using
hardened runtime
* Added statistics for code generation (no. of functions compiler,
memory used for different areas)
* Fixed issue with function entry type checks performed more that once
in some functions
Nobody is maintaining this and we haven't really used it and are
unlikely to start due to a high degree of noise and lack of dedicated
machines for this setup. Callgrind has worked for us well enough, with
additional profiling performed locally by engineers - this is not
perfect but it doesn't look like we have a path to making this better.
* Progress toward a diffing algorithm for types. We hope that this will
be useful for writing clearer error messages.
* Add a missing recursion limiter in `Unifier::tryUnifyTables`. This was
causing a crash in certain situations.
* Luau heap graph enumeration improvements:
* Weak references are not reported
* Added tag as a fallback name of non-string table links
* Included top Luau function information in thread name to understand
where thread might be suspended
* Constant folding for `math.pi` and `math.huge` at -O2
* Optimize `string.format` and `%*`
* This change makes string interpolation 1.5x-2x faster depending on the
number and type of formatted components, assuming a few are using
primitive types, and reduces associated GC pressure.
New type checker:
* Initial work toward tracking the upper and lower bounds of types
accurately.
Native code generation (JIT):
* Add IrCmd::CHECK_TRUTHY for improved assert fast-calls
* Do not compute type map for modules without types
* Capture metatable+readonly state for NEW_TABLE IR instructions
* Replace JUMP_CMP_ANY with CMP_ANY and existing JUMP_EQ_INT
* Add support for exits to VM with reentry lock in VmExit
