Motivation for this change

I use Nix to manage my Neovim installation (including plugins) and configuration. In my Neovim setup I use coc.vim, and plugins for that ecosystem. I noticed some coc.nvim plugins that I use, coc-markdownlint and coc-vimlsp, that are available in nixpkgs where not recognized by coc.nvim when installed through Nix.

Things done

These plugins were being added to nixpkgs using the vim-plugins-names\update.py mechanism, as opposed to other coc.nvim plugins (that were recognized when installed through Nix) that are added through nodePackages and override.nix for Vim plugins.

To resolve the issue of the two plugins in question not being recognized, I transitioned them to using the latter mechanism.
