VIM: Vundle to vim-plug

After several years of using my old .vimrc with vundle, finally bit the bullet and converted to vim-plug. It was quite an easy transition, and in my case, vim is now quicker to load.

$ curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

It was then just a matter of restarting vim and entering:

:PlugInstall

Updating is simple as well:

:PlugUpdate

To update vim-plug itself, just enter:

:PlugUpgrade
