feat: add hilbish.vim interface (closes #114)

this is going to be a middle level interface
which brings functions for interacting
with the line editor used in hilbish

adds the following functions:
setVimRegister(reg, text) - sets text in a vim register
getVimRegister(reg) - gets text from a vim register
insert(text) - inserts text into the line
accessible via hilbish.editor
