TermiNexus 782b4d63ff feat(build): 增加 --build-self 与 copyself
- 新增 copyself:延迟后删除目标并复制文件/目录
- ViperC 新增 --build-self:自举到 __vpcbuild_2__ 后由 copyself 替换 __vpcbuild__
- 同步当前 ViperC 工作区已有的 Gen/Diag/Stub 改动
- .gitignore 忽略 __vpcbuild_* 与 _sha1_map.txt

# copyself
A small Windows VPC utility used by `viperc --build-self`.
## Build
```powershell
viperc --project ViperC\copyself\project.vpj --clean
```
Output: `ViperC\copyself\__vpcbuild__\output\copyself.exe`.
## Usage
```text
copyself <seconds> <source> <destination>
```
- Waits `<seconds>` seconds, then copies `<source>` to `<destination>`.
- Existing destination is removed first: files are deleted, directories are removed recursively.
- Source file, destination file: deletes the destination file, then copies the source file.
- Source directory, destination directory: removes the destination directory, recreates it, then copies the source directory contents.
- Source file + destination directory, or source directory + destination file: reports an error and does not copy.
- Missing destination directories are created.
- File operation failures print the path and the Win32 error code.
- Source and destination must not be the same path; a destination inside the source directory is rejected.
- A source directory inside the destination directory is rejected because the destination is removed first.
## Example
```powershell
cd ViperC\copyself\__vpcbuild__\output
copyself.exe 5 ../../../__vpcbuild_2__ ../../../__vpcbuild__
```
## Used by `viperc --build-self`
`viperc --build-self` locates the ViperC tree from `viperc.exe`'s own path (not from the current working directory), compiles ViperC into `ViperC\__vpcbuild_2__`, then launches:
```text
copyself.exe 5 ../../__vpcbuild_2__ ../../__vpcbuild__
```
from working directory `ViperC\copyself\output`; the executable itself may live in `copyself\output` or `copyself\__vpcbuild__\output`. Build `copyself.exe` first with the command above; `--build-self` reports the missing executable and the build command if it is absent.
