runtime(dist): centralize safe executable check and add vim library (vim/vim#13413)
Follow up to 816fbcc26 (patch 9.0.1833: [security] runtime file fixes,
2023-08-31) and f7ac0ef50 (runtime: don't execute external commands when
loading ftplugins, 2023-09-06).
This puts the logic for safe executable checks in a single place, by introducing
a central vim library, so all filetypes benefit from consistency.
Notable changes:
- dist#vim because the (autoload) namespace for a new runtime support
library. Supporting functions should get documentation. It might make
life easier for NeoVim devs to make the documentation a new file
rather than cram it into existing files, though we may want
cross-references to it somewhere…
- The gzip and zip plugins need to be opted into by enabling execution
of those programs (or the global plugin_exec). This needs
documentation or discussion.
- This fixes a bug in the zig plugin: code setting s:tmp_cwd was removed
in f7ac0ef50 (runtime: don't execute external commands when loading
ftplugins, 2023-09-06), but the variable was still referenced. Since
the new function takes care of that automatically, the variable is no
longer needed.

runtime(ftplugin): allow to exec if curdir is in PATH
In case the current directory is present as valid $PATH entry, it is OK
to call the program from it, even if vim curdir is in that same
directory.
(Without that patch, for instance, you will not be able to open .zip
files while your current directory is /bin)

Problem: runtime files may execute code in current dir
Solution: only execute, if not run from current directory
The perl, zig and ruby filetype plugins and the zip and gzip autoload
plugins may try to load malicious executable files from the current
working directory. This is especially a problem on windows, where the
current directory is implicitly in your $PATH and windows may even run a
file with the extension `.bat` because of $PATHEXT.
So make sure that we are not trying to execute a file from the current
directory. If this would be the case, error out (for the zip and gzip)
plugins or silently do not run those commands (for the ftplugins).
This assumes, that only the current working directory is bad. For all
other directories, it is assumed that those directories were
intentionally set to the $PATH by the user.
