Problem: confusing build dependencies
Solution: clean them up, make them parallelizable
Separate vim binary and unittest dependencies, make them parallelizable
Clean up make dependencies so Vim and unit test binaries only depend on
the object files they need. This fixes an existing issue where after
running unit tests, the Vim binary would be invalidated, which results
in it having to be linked again when running script tests, even though
Vim was already previously built.
Make link.sh (script we use to link those binaries) generate namespaced
temporary files for each app to avoid them colliding with each other.
This allows `unittesttargets` to be built in parallel.
These fixes are useful when using link-time-optimization as the link
phase could now take minutes rather than a few seconds.

Problem: Autoconf 2.69 too old
Solution: Migrate to Autoconf 2.71
Autoconf 2.69 is almost 10 years old. And 2.71 is also a few years old
as well. Should be pretty well tested by now. It brings a lot of
improvements and there seems to be an ongoing work on autoconf 2.72
already.
This change just addresses two minor changes `autoupdate` suggested, and
then `src/auto/configure` is regenerated by running
cd src
make AUTOCONF=autoconf2.71 autoconf

* Dedicate upcoming Vim 9.1 to Bram
Also replace in a few more places Brams email address and mention new
maintainers.
* Remove Bram from any Maintainer role
* runtime: Align Header
* it's mailing list not mailinglist
Problem: Autoload files for "zig" are not installed.
Solution: Add install and uninstall rules in the makefile. (Christian
Brabandt, closes#12577, closes#12567)
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: There is no real need for a "big" build.
Solution: Move common features to "normal" build, less often used features
to the "huge" build. (Martin Tournoij, closes#11283)
Problem: Too many #ifdefs.
Solution: Graduate the +cmdwin feature. Now the tiny and small builds are
equal, drop the small build. (Martin Tournoij, closes#11268)
Problem: The neXTaw GUI is old and does not work well.
Solution: Remove the neXTaw GUI from configure to find out who still wants
support for this GUI.
Problem: The Athena GUI is old and does not work well.
Solution: Remove the Athena GUI from configure to find out who still wants
support for this GUI.
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)
