Updated plugins

wbthomason/packer.nvim is now unmaintained

Last week the README was updated with this notice of the projects current status.

NOTICE: This repository is currently unmaintained. For the time being (as of August, 2023), it is recommended to use one of the following plugin managers instead:

  • lazy.nvim: Most stable and maintained plugin manager for Nvim.
  • pckr.nvim: Spiritual successor of packer.nvim. Functional but not as stable as lazy.nvim.

packer.nvim now officially recommends using either lazy.nvim or pckr.nvim in its place.
