[PATCH 4 of 4] Contrib: vim syntax, remove unecessary ngxBlock

[OOO]

Hi

I made a sample and take screenshot[1].
This one (remove current ngxBlock) is a blocker for some other changes.

And about the *ngxBlock* you talked about in the last paragraph.
I think you are talking about curly bracket block:

    http {
      include    conf/mime.types;
      index    index.html index.htm index.php;
    }

I think it's not necessary for nginx conf file syntax highlight definition.
I can do more specific syntax highlight like ngxServerBlock for
`server { ... }` or another for `http { ... }`.
And made some constrain, ex: only allow *http* in *server*. Not allow
*http* at root level.
But it add lots of complexity. And I don't see the benefit worthy it.
Also breaks highlight in partial conf file (which will be included by
other conf file).

I will fix the rewrite commit.
But I have another question.
Maybe you have an idea about it.

    rewrite "/foo bar/" /bazz/ last;

For now, if I fix the bug. The "/foo bar/" part will be highlight as string.
But the /bazz/ part will be normal (no highlight).
I think they should both be highlight as string.
Do you have any idea?

Lots of directive have similar issue.
I have another change is about location path:

    location ~ /path/to/file {
    }

Is to highlight /path/to/file part like a string.
I fell its better to see the conf.
But not sure is it good to everyone.
