Adding NeoVim support

[klaxalk]

Hello, I would like to update vim-stream to support NeoVim. It would be almost straightforward, except the nvim's pipe mode does not print the "Vim: Reading from stdin..." message, thus the tail is not necessary.

I am not sure whether the use of whereis and awk to detect the path to Vim/NeoVim binary is correct. Please correct me, if there is a better way. In this case the $VIM/$NVIM variables are empty when Vim or NeoVim is not installed.

Hi @klaxalk, thanks for adding this! Looks good to me. I'm going to add nvim support to the test suite, see if I can remove the use of awk, and then merge.

So the command "$(which nvim)" is enough to replace the command with awk.

By the way, I'm having issues getting neovim to work at all - have you seen good results? Perhaps (macOS) brew installed an older version. For instance, the command (using the basics - without vims):

 echo 'HELLO!' | nvim - -nes -c ':exe "norm ggAHELLO2"' -c :%p -c ':q!'

Only prints HELLO2 at the output.

Hi, $(which nvim) might be problematic when nvim is aliased (I have both vim and nvim aliased to add some launch parameters automatically). Neovim worked out of the box for me. I installed it from repositories on Ubuntu, currently on 0.3.2-dev. I found just a handful of incompatibilities between vim and nvim, this was one of them. The other was that to achieve headless mode, nvim requires --headless and that colors in tmux can be fixed like:

if !has("nvim")
  set term=screen-256color
else 

It looks like that you are required to use the improved Ex mode for that command. That is what I use most of the time. Thus -nEs.

Sincerely, Tomas
