[PATCH v2 1/2] Add project-wide .vimrc configuration

[Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's not efficient that everyone must set specific configurations in all
their ~/.vimrc files; we can have a project-wide .vimrc that everyone
can use.

There's different ways to load this configuration, for example with
vim-addon-local-vimrc [1], but we don't need much of the complexity of
these solutions.

Instead I created a simple loader that is in the contrib area, which can
be installed with:

  cp -aT contrib/vim ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/git

Then, add the location of the Git repository to your ~/.vimrc:

  let g:gitvimrc_whitelist = [ expand('$HOME') . '/dev/git' ]

Then the project-wide configuration will be loaded, which sets the
correct filetype for the documentation, and also the default indentation
of c, sh, perl, and asciidoc files.

These default configurations can be overridden in the typical way (by
adding the corresponding file in ~/.vim/after/ftplugin).

We could add the vim modelines at the bottom of every file, like other
projects do, but this seems more sensible.
