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
Problem: fragile setup to get (preferred) keys from key_name_entry
(after v9.1.1179)
Solution: refactor the code further, fix a bug with "pref_name" key
entry introduced in v9.1.1180 (Yee Cheng Chin)
The optimization introduced for using bsearch() with key_name_entry
in vim/vim#16788 was fragile as it required synchronizing a non-obvious index
(e.g. IDX_KEYNAME_SWU) with the array that could be accidentally changed
by any one adding a key to it. Furthermore, the "pref_name" that was
introduced in that change was unnecessary, and in fact introduced a bug,
as we don't always want to use the canonical name.
The bug is triggered when the user triggers auto-complete using a
keycode, such as `:set <Scroll<Tab>`. The bug would end up showing two
copies of `<ScrollWheelUp>` because both entries end up using the
canonical name.
In this change, remove `pref_name`, and simply use a boolean to track
whether an entry is an alt name or not and modify logic to respect that.
Add test to make sure auto-complete works with alt names
closes: vim/vim#169877d8e7df551
In Nvim there is no `enabled` field, so put `is_alt` before `name` to
reduce the size of the struct.

Problem: too many strlen() calls in misc2.c
Solution: refactor misc2.c and use bsearch() instead of a linear search
to find matches in the key_names_table array (John Marriott).
This commit changes misc2.c to use bsearch() to perform string searches of
the key_names_table array.
Implementation detail:
- Some entries in this array have alternate names. Add field alt_name to
point to the alternate name.
- Some entries in this array are only available if a given feature is
defined. Keep them in the array, but add a boolean field enabled to
indicate if the record can be used or not. If the feature is not
available, the corresponding enabled field is set to FALSE.
In my measurements running the test suite on a huge non-gui build on
linux, the number of string comparisons in get_special_key_code():
Before (linear search): 2,214,957
After (binary search): 297,770
A side effect of this is 1477 calls to STRLEN() in
get_special_key_name() for the same test run are no longer necessary.
