ec8a0c7340 fix(build): workaround errors in zig build due to stale cache
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.

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.

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
