This change renames the build files so they come lexicographically
before any source files. This makes the compile errors (due to
mismatched libgit2 versions) easier to understand, since the
Build_*.go files will be tried before the rest, and the #error in
those files will kick in, leading to a much better experience.

This unfortunately goes a bit against the defacto standard of using only
lowercase characters in filenames, but the better developer experience
(and better self-diagnosis when things go wrong instead of having to
open a new issue) is worth the deviation.

Fixes: #711
Fixes: #617
