bash: 'vi', the $EDITOR to rule them all

See the earlier commit message on why I plan to start distinguishing
between vim vs vi. $EDITOR is a great example of a vi usecase (and
thus minimal config), because its sole purpose is to let OTHER programs
know what editor to upon a file in.

If I'm in another program (whose main purpose isn't code editing, like
git, mutt, etc), I want the opening of my editor to be so quick its like
its no new process was needed. Ya feel?

So let's export EDITOR=vi, and leave the improvements to the times I
invoke 'vim' directly.
