Vim option and added remove-file functionality

[ianks]

This will allow users to:

$ gist --vim my_new_gist.rb 

Which will create a new file in VIM, then post it as Gist.

Alternatively:

$ gist --vim -rf my_new_gist.rb 

Which will create the new file in VIM, post it as Gist, then immediately remove the file once finished. I chose to do it this way because VIM does not have great support with flushing a buffer to stdout.

This configuration could work with any editor (child process) which will correctly will report it's changed state to the Gist gem. However, I chose to initially set this up with Vim as I am most familiar with it.

Cheers and thanks for the gem 😄

From one vim user to another, I think this should support other values of $EDITOR before being included, perhaps as -E, --edit. Good feature though, I'm looking forward to using it.

Yeah, the problem is that I am waiting for the Process to finish here (and reaping it once it's finished). On many editors, it will just open the file in the editor, and people will want to just save instead of exiting the process. 

The alternative way to do it would be to "listen" for the file using Guard-listen or something. Once the file is created, then follow the same logic. 

If I get some time I will do this eventually. Super swamped tho ATM

We can steal this code from Pry:

@ConradIrwin's idea sounds reasonable to me.

I think this is better implemented using an editor plugin (for vim, you can just do :w!gist)
