Add Neovim configuration information (#1545)

* Add Neovim configuration information
The JSON provided for VSCode works with coc and nlsp-settings.
This is verified by
9d8bdb9290/README.md
for coc, and feeding the JSON in to this schema
215b537cfb/schemas/_generated/rust_analyzer.json
for validating nlsp-settings.

* Make the steps clear
First open a Rust buffer
Then update RA settings
If you don't open a buffer first then nothing will happen. This is because
the plugin makes a raw LSP RPC, so RA must be attached.

* Use separate sections for VSCode and Nvim
* Add a short section on the VSCode tasks.

## Configuring `rust-analyzer` for `rustc`
### Visual Studio Code
`rust-analyzer` can help you check and format your code whenever you save
a file. By default, `rust-analyzer` runs the `cargo check` and `rustfmt`
commands, but you can override these commands to use more adapted versions

### Neovim
For Neovim users there are several options for configuring for rustc. The easiest way is by using
[neoconf.nvim](https://github.com/folke/neoconf.nvim/), which allows for project-local
configuration files with the native LSP. The steps for how to use it are below. Note that requires
Rust-Analyzer to already be configured with Neovim. Steps for this can be
[found here](https://rust-analyzer.github.io/manual.html#nvim-lsp).
1. First install the plugin. This can be done by following the steps in the README.
2. Run `x.py setup`, which will have a prompt for it to create a `.vscode/settings.json` file.
`neoconf` is able to read and update Rust-Analyzer settings automatically when the project is
opened when this file is detected.
If you're running `coc.nvim`, you can use `:CocLocalConfig` to create a
`.vim/coc-settings.json` and copy the settings from
[this file](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/etc/vscode_settings.json).
Another way is without a plugin, and creating your own logic in your configuration. To do this you
must translate the JSON to Lua yourself. The translation is 1:1 and fairly straight-forward. It
must be put in the `["rust-analyzer"]` key of the setup table, which is
[shown here](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/doc/server_configurations.md#rust_analyzer)
If you would like to use the build task that is described above, you may either make your own
command in your config, or you can install a plugin such as
[overseer.nvim](https://github.com/stevearc/overseer.nvim) that can [read VSCode's `task.json`
files](https://github.com/stevearc/overseer.nvim/blob/master/doc/guides.md#vs-code-tasks), and
follow the same instructions as above.
## Check, check, and check again
When doing simple refactorings, it can be useful to run `./x.py check`
