Pad these 2 status lines with spaces to the right of their string values
so that their background colours extend to the full width of the game
board.
First tried `len()`, then `strlen()` when counting characters in
`padding#RightPadding()` but turns out those deal with bytes and the
player character is a multi-byte character so we would come up sort on
spaces for padding in the Lives line because the player diamond counts
for double. To get around this, used `strchars()` which gives us a count
of the characters instead of the bytes.

Add a space after the `|` pipe character we added in
c9934c4b1192f50ae0d6930381622c58fbe7048a to put some breathing room
between it and the diamond characters.
Went back and forth on this and neither looked quite right but I think
I'm going to go with this one.

* Need to hard-code the enemy and player characters in order for the
`syntax match` calls to work
* Enemies are a brownish colour (to remind you of popcorn kernels)
* The player is a pinkish colour because it's vibrant and contrasts with
the brown of the enemies
* Lives have a maroon/burgundy background colour
* Score has a purple background colour that's similar enough in shade to
the lives section to make it part of the same context but different
enough to make it it's own section
* Add a `|` pipe character in front of score in order to be able to
colour it correctly even if the player has 0 lives left.

When the player has 0 lives left then quit the game and display "Game
Over" text.
TODO: Request player name at this point to store in the leaderboard.

* Create life.vim to keep track of lives
* Players start with 3 lives
* Add increment and decrement functions for lives because they'll be
useful in the future (although there's a more immediate need for the
decrement function)
* Render lives at the bottom of the board
* Move the score line down so that it appears just below the life count
