Update: Add experimental ctags generation and ctags file.
This is used by projects like geany.
Unfortunately, the code is terrible and the documentation is like rotten eggs.
They seem to somehow put hard-coded paths in the ctag files which makes absolute no sense.
Then, the geany project provides completely different ctag files that do not have this path nonsense.
The geany documentation does not relate to their actual ctag files and the ones provided by their example.
The Universal-ctags documentation, while having a lot of words, is misleading, awkward, and doesn't even describe how to get rid of these paths nor how to omit the paths.
Following the parts that does seem to read as if it means removing the path does absolutely not this.
The geany does not even import this file properly, despite the command coming directly from geany's documentation.
Using geany to generate this produces better results but also includes a lot of other junk that is unwanted.
It also includes the file paths.
Having the file paths makes these generated ctag files completely useless as it requires some other person to have the exact same absolute file path structure.
For now, attempt to strip out the absolute path using a sed command.

The object files are not being compiled correctly when performing a static build.
There may now be multiple object sources files which are now built individually.
The build object sources must be built without source code files.

- "path_sources_program".
- "path_sources_script".

- Improve handling of directory detection and simplify the relating code.
- The built setting files are now being properly checked (a regression caused them to not be properly checked).
The "path_sources_object" setting designates that this can handle multiple files but the implementation fails to handle this.
