Moved the vim package to the manual folder, upgrade to vim 8.1. #304

Closed n3wjack closed 5 years ago

A bit of a bold change perhaps, but I wanted to see if I could get the Vim package install the 8.1 version from the official site with the installer since the Cream installer is no longer updated. Unfortunately there seems to be no fixed logic to the official installer executables so I moved the package back to the manual-package subfolder.

One annoying thing about this Vim installer is that it isn't completely silent. At the end you get a message asking if you want to see the readme file and there is no way to suppress that apparently [*]. :/

On a system with the current Vim package installed I also had to force my local nupkg to install to test an upgrade. For some reason Chocolatey told me that Vim 8.0.604 was already installed, while the local package is 8.1. I don't know if this is normal when testing with a local package?

@n3wjack thank you for taking the time to submit this PR, unfortunately, the vim package is no longer maintained out of this repository, it has been moved to here:

https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-coreteampackages/tree/master/automatic/vim

Can I ask that you get in touch with the maintainers there about any additional requests.
