runtime(help): add omni completion and 'iskeyword' to filetype plugin

Problem:

- Help tags provide a good way to navigate the Vim documentation, but
  many help documents don't use them effectively. I think one of the
  reasons is that help writers have to look up help tags manually with
  `:help` command, which is not very convenient.
- 'iskeyword' is only set for help buffers opened by `:help` command.
  That means if I'm editing a help file, I cannot jump to tag in same
  file using `Ctrl-]` unless I manually set it, which is annoying.

Solution:

- Add omni completion for Vim help tags.
- Set 'iskeyword' for `ft-help`

closes: #17073
