Problem: The shellmenu plugin has to be copied or sourced to be used.
Solution: Turn it into a package.

Justification for changes that do not carry over
- `Filelist` does not exist in neovim
- neovim does not have a `README.txt` in `runtime/macros`
Problem: The swapmous plugin has to be copied or sourced to be used.

Problem: Sticky type checking is more annoying than useful.
Solution: Remove the error for changing a variable type.

Note: There are a bunch of other changes to eval.txt that I believe are
N/A and not related to this patch.
Updated runtime files.

This was more trouble than it is worth:
- remove_directory fails if doc/ is not owned by the user
- some devs build in-tree, then deleting doc/ breaks the build
- `make install` isn't affected by the stale files at all: the tags are
built before install-time
So, reverting this change means only that devs who use a build/
directory will need to delete build/runtime/doc/ on the occasion that we
rename a doc file.
