Offset Vim Plugins onto nix packer

The current scripts/vim.dsl grabs the upstream supported vim plugins onto a sqlite database to be stored in memory. We could perform some data exploration via this database

Explore which plugins should be added to neovim.nix

Gather list of plugins need to be added. This can be done simply by adding a print statement on WPlug in ../native_configs/neovim/init.lua then run neovim to collect it.

-- as of git://./dotfiles.git#a6c979c6
local function WPlug(plugin_path, ...)
  local plugin_name = string.lower(plugin_path:match("/([^/]+)$"))
  if not installed_plugins[plugin_name] then
    -- NOTE: Add print statement to get which plugin is still being
    -- plugged at runtime
    print("Plugging "..plugin_path)
    Plug(plugin_path, ...)
  end
end

We can then use vim_dsl.py

TODO:

• Source the plugins directly
• Add 'frozen' to each of these plugin
• Pin plugins separately from neovim.nix
• Find a better way to inherit with list comprehension
• Create alert & notification channel for this, ideally via Discord channel
• Even better, just put it in email with some labels
• Better end-to-end design that take even deeper account to gruvbox-community and such
