contrib: remove vim support instructions

Browse Source 
The git support scripts started shipping in upstream vim in version
7.2 (2008-08-09).  Clean up contrib/ a little by removing the
instructions for people on older versions of vim.

RHEL 6 already has vim 7.2.something, so anyone on a reasonably modern
operating system should not be affected.  Users on RHEL 5 presumably
know that means sometimes missing out on niceties like syntax
highlighting, so this should be safe.

Syntax highlighting for git commit messages, config files, etc. is
included with the vim distribution as of vim 7.2, and should work
automatically.
If you have an older version of vim, you can get the latest syntax
files from the vim project:
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/git.vim
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitcommit.vim
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitconfig.vim
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitrebase.vim
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitsendemail.vim
These files are also available via FTP at the same location.
To install:
1. Copy these files to vim's syntax directory $HOME/.vim/syntax
2. To auto-detect the editing of various git-related filetypes:
$ curl http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/filetype.vim |
sed -ne '/^" Git$/, /^$/ p' >>$HOME/.vim/filetype.vim
