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
