Termux-packages: Neovim package lacks python (python3) support

[BrainDamage]

Neovim package lacks python (python3) support, try to launch a plugin which requires it and you'll get
'[deoplete] deoplete requires Neovim with Python3 support("+python3").'
unlike vim there seems to be no packages to provide the python plugins for neovim

[Neo-Oli]

It works a bit differently with Neovim. To enable python support you need to install the neovim package from pip. (Note: You need both the pip and apt package.)

pip install neovim

Note about deoplete: You should install the package before installing deoplete, as the installation already requires it. There is a note about it on the github page, but the command didn't work for me and I had to remove deoplete and install it again to make it work.

Update: The neovim package has now changed to pynvim.
So, use pip install pynvim instead.
