The nixpkgs documentation mentions how to update out of tree plugins but
one problem is that it requires a nixpkgs clone.
This makes it more convenient.
I've had the need to generate vim plugins and lua overlays for other
projects unrelated to nix and this will make updates easier (aka just
run `nix run nixpkgs#vimPluginsUpdater -- --proc=1` or with the legacy commands:
`nix-shell -p vimPluginsUpdater --run vim-plugins-updater`.
I added an optional "nixpkgs" argument to command line parser, which is the path
towards a nixpkgs checkout. By default the current folder.
update-luarocks-packages: format with black
buildNeovimPluginFrom2Nix was cargo-culted from buildVimPluginFrom2Nix
but this doesn't make sense.
From2Nix referred to a way of building plugins that is not used anymore
so buildVimPluginFrom2Nix could be renamed too.
* update.py: introduce subparsers for plugin updaters
This is preliminary work to help create more powerful plugin updaters.
Namely I would like to be able to "just add" plugins without refreshing
the older ones (helpful when github temporarily removes a user from
github due to automated bot detection).
Also concerning the lua updater, we pin some of the dependencies, and I
would like to be able to unpin the package without editing the csv
(coming in later PRs).
* doc/updaters: update command to update editor plugins
including vim, kakoune and lua packages

I've been working for a long time towards automatic nix dependencies for
neovim plugins (using luarocks rockspecs to discover the said
dependencies).
This is an initial commit to help me complete the missing bits.
buildNeovimPluginFrom2Nix is right now a placeholder which helps me test
in my fork a version that does a flat install of luarocks.
the vim updater will now check for attributes with the same name in the lua package set,
if that's the case the script will generate buildNeovimPluginFrom2Nix.
update.py and its companion update-shell.nix need to know where they are, else
they can't find the root default.nix of Nixpkgs. Because of this, I further
added a small piece of documentation about those path-dependent pieces of code.
