Gitsigns: keybindings for blame and diff ~

Options:

- lualine shows path of files
- added breadcrumbs to programming buffers as winbar

Plugins:

- added mrcjkb/rustaceanvim for improved rust support
- added lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim to show changes in files
- dropped lspkind, it had no visible effect and could not easily be
  fixed
- added j-hui/fidget.nvim to make $/progress messages (e.g. from lsp)
  visible

Keybindings:

- dropped unused and commented out keybindings
- <leader>fr to resume last fzf search
- <C-W>0, 1, 2, 3 to mimic emacs <C-x>.... window keys
- <esc><esc> to clear last search
- added desc field to many keybindings in lsp
