Fix to let vim depend on xxd

Commit de841b40d24d22ab51ad05ed632e025903fbb41f added xxd as a
    standalone tool. Which was a nice idea to allow other tools to only
    depend on xxd. However, having two packages shipping xxd led to some
    funny situations:
    Imagine you use a tool, which depends on the "lightweight" sysutils/xxd.
    Now, you install vim. What happens is pkg will suggest you uninstall
    your other tool because its xxd dependency conflicts with your editor
    choice.

    The easiest solution is to let vim depend on sysutils/xxd. The only
    downside is you now have two packages installed instead of one.
