feat: enable vim syntax fallback by default

Browse source 
Problem: languages without a treesitter parser (COBOL, Fortran, etc.)
got no syntax highlighting at all because `highlights.vim.enabled`
defaulted to `false`.

Solution: flip the default to `true`. The vim syntax path is already
deferred via `vim.schedule` so it never blocks the first paint.
