Sync with vim/neo-vim

If you are using base16 colorschemes from base16-vim plugin, you can use the -V argument to automatically generate ~/.vimrc_background file when you change alacritty colorscheme. You will need to source this file in your vimrc to load the same colorscheme in vim.

Add this in your .vimrc file:

if filereadable(expand("~/.vimrc_background"))
  let base16colorspace=256          " Remove this line if not necessary
  source ~/.vimrc_background
endif

When you change your alacritty colorscheme, you simply need to source ~/.vimrc_background or your vimrc. If you are a neo-vim user, ~/.vimrc_background will be automatically sourced.
