updated 8th.vim

[ronaaron]

Updated the 8th syntax file to correspond with the latest 8th release (23.09.01)

Thanks for the update.

There's some old Version 5 compatibility code that can be removed.

The following can be simplified to just the elseif branch.

vim/runtime/syntax/8th.vim

Lines 10 to 15 in 91bb72d

	if version < 600
	syntax clear
	finish
	elseif exists("b:current_syntax")
	finish
	endif

if exists("b:current_syntax")
   finish
endif

and this guard can be removed altogether. This is briefly discussed at :help version6.txt in the Highlighting: section.

vim/runtime/syntax/8th.vim

Lines 423 to 424 in 91bb72d

	if !exists("did_eighth_syntax_inits")
	let did_eighth_syntax_inits=1

OK, I've removed the obsolete code now.

Thanks Ron.
