6b936002cc build: make build.zig generate helptags without running "nvim" binary
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.

a2b0be19bf fix(build): remove deprecated aliases in build.zig removed for zig 0.15
This makes the zig build compatible with the upcoming zig 0.15 release,
while still supporting the current stable 0.14 release still used in CI.

1f004970f0 feat(build): build.zig MVP: build and run functionaltests on linux
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

Follow up items:

-  praxis for version and dependency bumping
-  windows 💀
-  full integration of libintl and gettext (or a desicion not to)
-  update help and API metadata files
-  installation into a $PREFIX
-  more tests and linters
