Some classes have properties which are not valid identifiers (such as
https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Studio)
This adds support for the following syntax in definition files:
```lua
declare class Foo
["a property"]: string
end
```
Closes#702
* 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)
- Fix rare type checking bugs with invalid generic types escaping the
module scope
- Fix type checking of variadic type packs in certain cases
- Implement type normalization, which resolves a large set of various
issues with unions/intersections in type checker
- Improve parse errors for trailing commas in function calls and type
lists
- Reduce profiling skew when using --profile with very high frequencies
- Improve performance of `lua_getinfo` (`debug.info`, `debug.traceback`
and profiling overhead are now 20% faster/smaller)
- Improve performance of polymorphic comparisons (1-2% lift on some
benchmarks)
- Improve performance of closure creation (1-2% lift on some benchmarks)
- Improve string comparison performance (4% lift on string sorting)
- 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
To my understanding lua_cleartable does not need GC barriers because
it's only removing elements and not modifying the stack. But I'm not a
GC expert so please correct if I'm wrong.

- Improve type error messages for argument count mismatch in certain
cases
- Fix type checking variadic returns when the type is incompatible which
type checked in certain cases
- Reduce size of upvalue objects by 8 bytes on 64-bit platforms
- Reduce I$ footprint of interpreter by 1.5KB
- Reduce GC pause during atomic stage for programs with a lot of threads
- Remove support for bytecode v2
Luau currently has the following functions in the C API for dealing with
tables without invoking metamethods:
lua_rawgetfield
lua_rawget
lua_rawgeti
lua_rawset
lua_rawseti
This change adds the missing function lua_rawsetfield for consistency
and because it's more efficient to use it in place of plain lua_rawset
which requires pushing the key and value separately.

- Remove type definitions of
`utf8.nfcnormalize`/`nfdnormalize`/`graphemes` that aren't supported by
standalone Luau library
- Add `lua_costatus` to retrieve extended thread status (similar to
`coroutine.status`)
- Improve GC sweeping performance (2-10% improvement on allocation-heavy
benchmarks)
- Improve ComparisonPrecedence lint suggestions for three-way comparisons (X < Y < Z)
- Improve type checking stability
- Improve location information for errors when parsing invalid type annotations
- Compiler now generates bytecode version 3 in all configurations
- Improve performance of comparisons against numeric constants on AArch64
- Fix DeprecatedGlobal warning text in cases when the global is deprecated without a suggested alternative
- Fix an off-by-one error in type error text for incorrect use of string.format
- Reduce stack consumption further during parsing, hopefully eliminating stack overflows during parsing/compilation for good
- Mark interpolated string support as experimental (requires --fflags=LuauInterpolatedStringBaseSupport to enable)
- Simplify garbage collection treatment of upvalues, reducing cache misses during sweeping stage and reducing the cost of upvalue assignment (SETUPVAL); supersedes #643
- Simplify garbage collection treatment of sleeping threads
- Simplify sweeping of alive threads, reducing cache misses during sweeping stage
- Simplify management of string buffers, removing redundant linked list operations
Implements the string interpolation RFC (#165).
Adds the string interpolation as per the RFC.
```lua
local name = "world"
print(`Hello {name}!`) -- Hello world!

- Fix autocomplete not suggesting globals defined after the cursor (fixes#622)
- Improve type checker stability
- Reduce parser C stack consumption which fixes some stack overflow crashes on deeply nested sources
- Improve performance of bit32.extract/replace when width is implied (~3% faster chess)
- Improve performance of bit32.extract when field/width are constants (~10% faster base64)
- Heap dump now annotates thread stacks with local variable/function names
In case a large userdata size is passed to lua_newuserdatadtor it might overflow the size resulting in luaU_newudata actually allocating the object without a memory error. This will then result in overwriting part of the metatable pointer of the userdata.
This PR fixes this issue by checking for the overflow and in such cases pass a size value which will cause a memory error in luaU_newudata.
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

Adds an option to hide the `self: type` argument as the first argument in the string representation of a named function type var if the ftv hasSelf.
Also added in a test for the original output (i.e., if the option was disabled)
I didn't apply this option in the normal `Luau::toString()` function, just the `Luau::toStringNamedFunction()` one (for my usecase, that is enough + I felt like a named function would include the method colon `:` to signify self). If this is unintuitive, I can also add it to the general `Luau::toString()` function.
