Subject: [PATCH] New menu command: Run a system command in this directory.
 (#1214)

* New menu command: Run system command in this directory.

* Echo the output from the system command.

* Update version number in change log.

* Address Vim linter message: change "\n" to nr2char(10)

* Use single quoted strings.

* Use system() instead of systemlist() for greater version compatibility.

systemlist() was introduced sometime in Vim 8+, so I switched to
system() for 7.4 compatibility.
