[refactor] This is not a filetype plugin - remove syntax highlighting #14

Description

As already discussed before in #8, #9, and #12, it makes a lot of sense to decouple the wiki part of this plugin from the syntax highlighting. Syntax highlighting is already provided by other plugins, such as:

We should therefore remove this from wiki.vim and focus on link actions and similar. There is a lot of obvious potential, e.g. to support different styles of links in a natural and dynamic manner, but the first step is to make clear what the plugin should provide.

In this regard, here is a short list of actions:

  • Remove syntax highlighting from wiki.vim
  • Allow to load wiki.vim for other filetypes, e.g. markdown files (perhaps with g:wiki_extensions variable)
  • Add section on various Markdown syntax plugins in wiki.vim docs, preferably with a recommendation on the most mature syntax highlighting plugin
