bingletigerandChristopher Di Bella 8fc87ebf76 Add manual installation commands for syntax highlighting in Neovim (#8038 )

[Carbon Syntax Highlighting for Vim & Neovim][1] is missing manual
installation commands for Neovim.

Custom syntax files have to be present in `~/.config/nvim/syntax/`
([source][2]) and filetypes in `~/.config/nvim/ftdetect` ([source][3]).
