nvi

So my experiments with nvi (on my macOS lapotop) today so far:
- `brew install nvi` superfically works, but display is borked for /thorn þ and /eth ð
- found Keith Bostic nvi source, but couldn't work out how to compile it
- found https://repo.or.cz/nvi.git but the UK government prevents my from seeing it
- found https://github.com/lichray/nvi2 and _that_ compiled ok after i brew install'd cmake and ninja and appears to display ok.

Separately to those, i had to remove 1 vim-ism that had crept into my $EXINIT in the last 30 years or so.

So maybe i will get Jia Tan'd or milkshake duck'd, but ok so far.
