464804b43f kakoune: Fix :doc when using plugins
So, kakoune takes the documentation shown for `:doc` from
`$KAKOUNE_RUNTIME/share/kak/doc`. Unfortunately, it seems
that it will ignore files that are symlinks. This is arguably
a bug in kakoune, we workaround it for now by copying the
content of the docfiles.

550389392a kakoune: rework plugin support
The previous implementation of plugin-support for the kakoune derivation
was based on generating, at build time, a `plugins.kak` file that would
source all .kak files in the list of plugins, and wrap the `kak` binary
in a script that would add some command-line arguments so that this
file gets loaded on start-up. The main problem with this approach
is that the plugins' code get executed *after* the user's configuration
file is loaded, so effectively one cannot automatically activate/configure
these plugins.

The idiomatic way of loading plugins is ensuring they end up installed
somwhere under `share/kak/autoload`. Because plugins are already being
packaged to have their code in `share/kak/autoload/plugins/<name-of-plugin>`,
we can obtain a derivation that includes the plugins simply by doing a
`symlinkJoin` of `kakoune-unwrapped` and all the requested plugins.

For this to work, we need to fix two issues:

  1. By default, kakoune makes `share/kak/autoload` a symbolic link to
     `share/kak/rc`, which contains all builtin definitions. We need
     to patch this to put the symlink under `share/kak/autoload/rc`, so that
     the join works.

  2. By default kakoune expects the `autoload` directory to be in
     `../share/kak/autoload` relative to the location of the `kak` binary.
     We need to set the `KAKOUNE_RUNTIME` to point the symlinked
     share/kak for this to work.

2a911454d3 kakoune: support for adding plugins
Motivation: There is a thriving plugin ecosystem for Kakoune now,
and it is nice to add these in our Nix configurations. This was modeled
on neovim's plugins.

parinfer-rust is useable both standalone and as a Kakoune plugin,
so the plugin file inherits the same definition as pkgs.

I'll make PRs for other plugins if this gets accepted.
[Here](https://github.com/eraserhd/nixpkgs/tree/kak-ansi)'s a tested
branch for the `kak-ansi` plugin.
