We can relax this restriction in the future, but
basically every time it came up for me, the test
code was just disorganized, or it had an easy
workaround.
We still need to write to these globals with set_global because the
code being tested reads from them, but the tests themselves should
never need to read from them.

It's actually pretty rare in our codebase to
call methods like `$(...).map` or `$(...).each`,
but we now support them better in zjquery.
You can pass a list of child elements now to
`$.create(...)`.
Now when we want to measure how long a block
of code takes to execute, we just wrap it with
`blueslip.measure_time`, instead of the awkward
idiom from my original commit of getting a callback
function.
My rationale for the original scheme was that I
wanted to minimize diffs and avoid changing
`const` to `let` in a few cases, but I believe
now that the function wrapper is nicer.
In a few cases I just removed the blueslip timing
code, since I was able to confirm on czo that
the times were pretty minimal.
Instead of prohibiting ‘return undefined’ (#8669), we require that a
function must return an explicit value always or never. This prevents
you from forgetting to return a value in some cases. It will also be
important for TypeScript, which distinguishes between undefined and
void.

The code to run single files was added
in c15695e514,
and it's just kinda strange code.
We already do a lot of file logic in Python
to check for line-coverage, so it's easier
to just have all the logic in Python.
This adds a new feature--you can now specify
the actual file:
./tools/test-js-with-node frontend_tests/node_tests/people.js
(This is helpful if you just want to use
shell autocomplete.)
Another minor change is that if you specify
individual files, we won't sort them. This is
important when you're trying to hunt down test
leaks.
Finally, we have a nicer message if we can't find
the file.
There is good reason to do this (explanation is bit long!). With the
TypeScript migration, and the require and ES6 migrations that come
with it, we use require instead of set_global which loads the entire
module. Suppose we have a util module, which is used by some other
module, say message_store, and util is being required in message_store
since it is removed from window. Then, if a test zrequires
message_store first, and then zrequires the util module qand mocks one
of its methods, it will not be mocked for the message_store
module. The reason is:
1. zrequire('message_store') leads to require('util').
2. zrequire('util') removes the util module from cache and it is
reloaded. Now the util module in message_store and the one in
the test will be different and any updates to it in tests won't
be reflected in the actual code.
Which can lead to confusion for folks writing tests. I'll mention this
can be avoided doing zrequire('util') first but...that is not ideal.
And, since there was one outlier test that relied on this behavior,
we add the namespace.reset_module function.
ES and TypeScript modules are strict by default and don’t need this
directive. ESLint will remind us to add it to new CommonJS files and
remove it from ES and TypeScript modules.

This just lets us temporarily assign a value
to a field.
Differences with the "override" scheme:
* override only works on globals
* override (when passed in via run_test) will
just automatically clean up at the end of
the function
We want to undo overrides in reverse order,
which is important if you override the
same name more than once in the same
function.
Until today the code basically prevented
us from ever using the original implementation
of a name we stubbed, and most of them start
as undefined due to their parent modules
starting with `set_global`.
But I do want this proper, and I introduced
a tiny pitfall today.
