Add `viewdir` to `programs.vim.settings` #5518

Description

The vim package allows for the configuration of different runtime file locations, such as directory, backupdir, and undodir. However, if one wants to completely remove the ~/.vim directory, they also need to specify the viewdir which defaults to $HOME/.vim/view (Documentation Link). While this is possible to change via extraConfig, this is inconsistent with the availability of the other runtime-directory options.

viminfofile is also a good candidate for similar reasons described above.
