Re: [vim/vim] Refined autoload mechanism explanation (PR #20833)

Two formatting points on the new text.

Lines are wrapped earlier than they need to be. The file has `textwidth=78` in
its modeline, and the convention is to fill up to it, so a line should not be
broken while the next word still fits, unless the break is intentional. Some
examples, with the width of the line and what the next word would make it:

```
	139  ... an imported script is                        65 -> 72
	146  ... of an imported script may                    66 -> 69
	148  keyword.                                          8 -> 14
	152  Nothing in the rest of the script needs to change. 50 -> 59
	175  under 'runtimepath'.                              20 -> 25
	184  ... in 'runtimepath', choose                      71 -> 73
```

There are about 15 such lines in the added paragraphs. Rather than fixing them
by hand, let Vim reflow the paragraph: `gqip` in Normal mode, `gq` on a Visual
selection, `gqq` for a single line. It picks up `textwidth=78` from the
modeline, and 'joinspaces' is on by default so the two spaces between sentences
are kept.

By the way, there is still one single space after a full stop left, at line
217. `gq` will not catch that one, it is mid-line.
