Add custom plugin better_autoread
Make a plugin out of a Stack Overflow post for a better autoread augroup. The `autoread` setting in vim will automatically reload a file if it's been changed outside of vim (if you've made unsaved changes vim will prompt before loading the file). By default, however, vim doesn't automatically detect when a file has changed. It only happens when you do certain things. This sets up an autocmd to force a check a bit more often by tying into the CursorHold events. A bit hackish it seems but it works like a charm. This has been sorely needed especially since yesterday when I was switching git branches in a project several times and editing various files only to be alerted upon saving that the file on disk has changed. Previously I would say it was a minor annoyance to have to type :e! in those situations. Yesterday it was a freaking pain in the glaiven since it happened unexpectedly so many times and after I was ready to commit/save edits.
