it seems like the repl_characterization tests have not been actually
running correctly for a while, since tests from more than 2 years ago
that should have failed have been in the test suite and OK'd thus far.
the reason why some tests passed when they shouldn't have is because
the AST nodes used by the characterization parser didn't have a correct
comparison operator, so the tests would only fail when one of the output
line was of the wrong *kind*, but not if it had the wrong *value*. this
was fixed by simply adding a default comparator to the TextNode type as
well as every derived class.
i've taken the occasion to fix the tests that were failing now that we
are actually being strict about them. most of these are pretty boring
changes like indentation, but if possible i'd like to get an explicit
ACK from at least one or two people on the core team that these changes
are okay.
for reference, here is the zulip thread that lead to this CL:
https://zulip.lix.systems/#narrow/channel/8-Testing-.2F-functional2/topic/.E2.9C.94.20repl-characterization.20tests.20not.20failing/near/10276
ps: i had to turn clang-format off around the macro for text node
declarations because it re-formatted the entire macro, causing a lot
of noising and producing uglier code; if this isn't okay or if there's
a better alternative, please let me know!

lowdown 1.4.0 changed the lowdown_opts to include a new and separate
lowdown_opts_term which allows for configuring values specific to
-Tterm (which we're using). This version should have been called 2.0.0
according to semver, hence 2.0.0 was released later without any actual
breaking changes to sort of migitate the problem.
We need to support lowdown >= 1.3 && < 1.4 since the ship has sailed for
updating lowdown in NixOS 25.05 as well as lowdown >= 1.4 or we'll be
stuck in Nixpkgs forever. Support for < 1.4 can be dropped as soon as
NixOS 25.05 is EOL, assuming this change lands before NixOS 25.11
branch-off.
We detect the changed API based on the lowdown version from pkg-config
and define LOWDOWN_SEPARATE_TERM_OPTS based on that. The ifdef is named
according to the specific API change that impacts us, so that it's
hopefully a little simpler to maintain going forward. In the new API,
all newly configurable settings use what would have been the (implicit)
default before. Changing some of these values, especially hpadding,
could be interesting in future changes.
Compared to cl/3081, this change makes sure to initialize all new fields
of lowdown_opts_term explicitly.
It seems that, while making -Tterm more configurable, lowdown's word
wrapping behavior changed slightly which broke basic_repl.test. I've
chosen to work around this by using builtins.add as an example which has
a very short documentation string, so wrapping doesn't matter.

This allows for automating using the repl without needing a PTY, with
very easy to write test files.
