Xcode 8 doesn't provide enough extension hook to provide vim keybindings.

Summary:
Many developers (read: me and few similarly weird people I know) relied on undocumented Xcode plugins feature. This allowed us to use a fairly popular plugin, XVim (https://github.com/XVimProject/XVim/) that provided vim-like keybindigs for Xcode.

Since Xcode 8, this is no longer possible — SIP disallows injecting your own key mapping and the extension API isn't powerful enough to enable plugins similar to this.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Xcode 8
2. Try to use Xvim

Expected Results:
You can use vim-like bindings and be more productive (or at least think you are).

Actual Results:
You're sad because you can't use vim-like bindings.

Version:
Xcode 8 beta 1.
