Problem:
The runs ":helptags", which needs the tree-sitter-vimdoc parser.
This may cause problems for package maintainers / distros?
Solution:
Use running to generate the tags, like the zig build already does.
It also errors on duplicate tags, which is good.
The `:helptags` command still uses treesitter.
addDirectoryArg with a source dir is not enough to depend on changes
to invidiual files. as a workaround, mark this step as having
side-effects (always being run) for now.
This is matters for cross-compiling where we might not
be able to run the "nvim" binary on the host.
Instead reimplement the helptags extractor as a small
lua script, which we can run on the host using the nlua0
helper already used for other generator scripts.
NEW BUILD SYSTEM!
This is a MVP implementation which supports building the "nvim" binary,
including cross-compilation for some targets.
As an example, you can build a aarch64-macos binary from
an x86-64-linux-gnu host, or vice versa
Add CI target for build.zig currently for functionaltests on linux
x86_64 only
