Hi Paul 
   I refer to the Debian patch and remove SYS_TINYRC_FILE related code as I 
think we don't need vimrc.tiny file.

   If vimrc.tiny is necessary, I will directly import the Debian patch and send 
v3 patch.

Why not directly import the Debian patch? You can find it at
  
https://salsa.debian.org/vim-team/vim/-/blob/debian/sid/debian/patches/debian/Support-sourcing-a-vimrc.tiny-when-Vim-is-invoked-as-vi.patch?ref_type=heads
