What

Adds the Tree Building practice exercise (difficulty 5), split out of #307.

  • tree-building.v -- stub
  • .meta/example.v -- example solution
  • run_test.v -- 16 tests, built from the canonical data in problem-specifications
  • .meta/config.json, .meta/tests.toml, .docs/
  • config.json -- registers the exercise

Adjustments for the test runner's V version

check_parents in the example returns ! rather than !void, because
V 0.4.8 rejects !void and asks for ? instead. ! is the same function
signature on every V version the track supports.

One self-contained commit that touches nothing outside the exercise, so it can be merged on its own.

Verification

  • bin/verify-exercises-in-docker (the current vlang-test-runner image, V 0.4.8): pass, 16/16 tests.
  • V 0.5.2, the version vlang/setup-v installs for bin/test in CI: pass.
  • configlet lint passes; v fmt -l and v vet are clean on the new files.

For the merge commit

Not needed: a brand new exercise does not change the outcome of any existing exercise's tests.

Adds the tree-building practice exercise (difficulty 5), split out of
exercism#307. It is a refactoring exercise, so the stub is a complete but
deliberately poor implementation for the student to clean up; it passes
the suite unchanged, as does the example.

`check_parents` in the example returns `!` rather than `!void`, because
V 0.4.8 -- the version the current test runner image pins -- rejects
`!void` and asks for `?` instead. `!` is the same function signature on
every V version the track supports.

Registers the exercise in config.json. Verified with
bin/verify-exercises-in-docker (the current test runner image) and with
V 0.5.2 for bin/test. configlet lint passes, and v fmt -l / v vet are
clean on the new files.
