Emacs-libvterm (vterm) is fully-fledged terminal emulator inside GNU Emacs
based on libvterm, a C library. As a result of using compiled code (instead of
elisp), emacs-libvterm is fully capable, fast, and it can seamlessly handle
large outputs.
misc/emacs-libvterm: Install etc/ under the vterm/
Previously, the shell-integration scripts (emacs-vterm-bash.sh,
emacs-vterm-zsh.sh, emacs-vterm.fish) were installed under
${EMACS_SITE_LISPDIR}/etc/, i.e. share/emacs/site-lisp/etc/. That is a
shared, generically-named directory, and creating it cause problems for
at least one other package [0].
Install everything under ${EMACS_SITE_LISPDIR}/vterm/ instead. This
keeps the port self-contained, no longer pollutes a directory other
ports probe, and matches ELPA package's layout.
[0]
math/ess auto-detects ess-etc-directory by probing paths relative to its
own lisp directory, one of which is ../etc. With site-lisp/etc present,
ESS selected it instead of the correct share/emacs/etc/ess, so M-x R
failed to load ESSR with "cannot open the connection".

Emacs Lisp ports framework: Overhaul
This overhaul introduces four key changes to the elisp ports framework:
1. Remove support for packaged byte-compiled elisp.
The primary motivation is to remove a large number of flavor-specific
packages and to simplify the ports tree. As an example, supporting
byte-compiled elisp for devel/tablist required six packages, one for
each flavor of editors/emacs and editors/emacs-devel. With over 100
elisp ports and requests for new Emacs flavors, this was
unmanageable.
2. Install configuration to integrate with Emacs's native compilation
machinery, allowing elisp from ports to be compiled into the standard
