Consider switching from vim-plug to packer.nvim

I adore vim-plug, but having since finally started making the conversion to Neovim nightly and all the lua-goodness, packer.nvim also looks to be a very tempting option.

• Commands/Features are nearly identical to vim-plug
• Allows specifying plugin load order
  • This might just be a killer feature since this could avoid issues like Airline recently complaining about not being able to find the one theme
• It's in Lua, so it'll be amazingly fast (not that plug isn't)
  • It has some kind of compilation feature
• Allows specifying dependencies
• Allows running arbitrary configuration, attached to the plugin
  • This is quite nice as it allows everything about the plugin setup to be with the declaration if there's little to do
  • Especially nice for lua plugins, since they almost always require a setup call of sorts
• Can take over the entire setup process if need be

Decided the other day to go full Neovim and not have a hybrid Vim/Neovim config. As such, I am switching to Packer.
