Lifepillar cb7cbfcc12 runtime: Update files for ConTeXt, METAFONT, and MetaPost.
This update is meant to be included in the upcoming 9.2 release.

**New**

- Support ConTeXt's convention to optionally specify an output directory
  in a comment line at the beginning of a source file.
- If a log file is not found, Vim does not create a new buffer.
- Removed `syntax/shared` files for the following reasons:
  - they are not necessary for the plugin to work (they only improve
    over existing syntax highlighting);
  - they are relative large;
  - they can be automatically (re)generated by users at any time using
    ConTeXt (explained in the doc);
  - since ConTeXt is updated frequently, they quickly become obsolete.

**Minor**

- Prefer `var` to `const` inside functions.
- Prefer `$`-interpolation to `printf()`.
- All revision dates set to the same date for consistency.
- Updated the error format.
- Various tweaks to the documentation, but nothing disruptive or new.

This directory contains Vim scripts to be used with a specific compiler.
They are used with the ":compiler" command.

These scripts usually set options, for example 'errorformat'.
See ":help write-compiler-plugin".

To undo the effect of a compiler plugin, use the make compiler plugin.

If you want to write your own compiler plugin, have a look at the other files
for how to do it, the format is simple.

If you think a compiler plugin you have written is useful for others, please
send it to the vim-dev mailing list: <vim-dev@vim.org>
