vim_getenv: $VIMRUNTIME fallback: ../share/nvim/runtime (#6223)
Do this on all systems, so that portable builds work everywhere. This allows us to ship archives with this folder structure: bin/nvim share/nvim/runtime then ./bin/nvim works without the user needing to explicitly set VIMRUNTIME.

-For Unix, when there is a compiled-in default for $VIMRUNTIME (check the
-output of ":version"), steps 2, 3 and 4 are skipped, and the compiled-in
-default is used after step 5. This means that the compiled-in default
-overrules the value of $VIM. This is useful if $VIM is "/etc" and the runtime
-files are in "/usr/share/vim/vim54".

Once Vim has done this once, it will set the $VIMRUNTIME environment variable.
To change it later, use a ":let" command like this: >
:let $VIMRUNTIME = "/home/piet/vim/vim54"
