doc/vim.section.md: fix references to the old update.py script

Running the `update.py` script directly doesn't work anymore, so instead
replace all usages of it in the documentation with `nix-shell -p
vimPluginsUpdater --run 'vim-plugins-updater'`.

Sometimes plugins require an override that must be changed when the plugin is updated. This can cause issues when Vim plugins are auto-updated but the associated override isn't updated. For these plugins, the override should be written so that it specifies all information required to install the plugin, and running `./update.py` doesn't change the derivation for the plugin. Manually updating the override is required to update these types of plugins. An example of such a plugin is `LanguageClient-neovim`.

To add a new plugin, run `./update.py add "[owner]/[name]"`. **NOTE**: This script automatically commits to your git repository. Be sure to check out a fresh branch before running.

Finally, there are some plugins that are also packaged in nodePackages because they have Javascript-related build steps, such as running webpack. Those plugins are not listed in `vim-plugin-names` or managed by `update.py` at all, and are included separately in `overrides.nix`. Currently, all these plugins are related to the `coc.nvim` ecosystem of the Language Server Protocol integration with Vim/Neovim.

## Updating plugins in nixpkgs {#updating-plugins-in-nixpkgs}
Run the update script with a GitHub API token that has at least `public_repo` access. Running the script without the token is likely to result in rate-limiting (429 errors). For steps on creating an API token, please refer to [GitHub's token documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token).
```sh
GITHUB_API_TOKEN=my_token ./pkgs/applications/editors/vim/plugins/update.py
nix-shell -p vimPluginsUpdater --run 'vim-plugins-updater --github-token=mytoken' # or set GITHUB_API_TOKEN environment variable
```
Alternatively, set the number of processes to a lower count to avoid rate-limiting.
