Sometimes patches add files that should be included in tarballs for
distribution, but are not added to Filelist (used by Makefile to build
the tar archive). This can break the build, or it can be silently
ignored as runtime files are simply not included in the distribution.
Add a CI check to ensure all files tracked in the repository are
assigned to a variable in Filelist. A few files were not listed because
they do not need to be included in builds and tarballs, so add an IGNORE
variable for these exceptions.

These files were discovered to be missing from Filelist, and thus
distribution tarballs:
- editorconfig plugin
- extra files for Rust support
- readme for Haiku OS builds

Tags for help files disappeared with the latest Vim update in Fedora,
which is caused by silent error (it didn't stop the build) about missing
file. I use 'make unixall' in Fedora to get the latest patchlevels and
the new files were missing from Filelist file which is used for
generating the tarball.

Problem: Classes are not documented or implemented yet.
Solution: Make the first steps at documenting Vim9 objects, classes and
interfaces. Make initial choices for the syntax. Add a skeleton
implementation. Add "public" and "this" in the command table.
Problem: It is not easy to see what client-server commands are doing.
Solution: Add channel log messages if ch_log() is available. Move the
channel logging and make it available with the +eval feature.
Problem: Cannot easily try out what codes various keys produce.
Solution: Add a script to gather key code information, with an initial list
of codes to compare with.
Problem: Extra newline in messages after a verbose shell message.
Solution: Output the newline with msg_putchar_attr(). (closes#11233)
Make it possible to filter a screendump before comparing it.
Problem: The bitmaps/vim.ico file is not in the distribution.
Solution: Add it back to the distribution. Adjust the build rules to have
it end up in the right place.
Problem: Vim help presentation could be better.
Solution: Add an imported file for extra Vim help support. Show highlight
names in the color they have.
Problem: MS-Windows: the installed icon is low resolution.
Solution: Use a better icon. Install vim.ico. (Christian Brabandt,
closes#9931, closes#9930)
Problem: Generating nv_cmdidxs.h requires building Vim twice.
Solution: Move the table into a separate file and use a separate executable
to extract the command characters. (Ozaki Kiichi, closes#9669)
Problem: Generating the normal command table at runtime is inefficient.
Solution: Generate the table with a Vim script and put it in a header file.
(Yegappan Lakshmanan, closes#9648)
Problem: CodeQL reports problem in if_cscope causing it to fail.
Solution: Use execvp() instead of execl(). Merge the header file into the
source file. (Ozaki Kiichi, closes#9519)
Problem: Memory allocation functions don't have their own place.
Solution: Move memory allocation functions to alloc.c. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closes#8717)
Problem: Functions for string manipulation are spread out.
Solution: Move string related functions to a new source file. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closes#8470)
Problem: MS-Windows: build failure with MSVC.
Solution: Adjust the list of distributed files. Add hint about python.
Adjust path for reading runtime files.
