Use setfiletype instead of set filetype

[doronbehar]

Hi,

This is kind of hard to explain, and I can't really point to the right location in the docs that explains this, but the TL;DR of this change is:

Enable me to add something like this to my filetype.vim

" Nixpkgs
au BufNewFile,BufRead /var/src/nixpkgs/** setf nix.nixpkgs

(While I set some extra settings to ftplugin/nixpkgs.vim).

I've learned about this subtlety at neomutt/neomutt.vim#4 .

BTW great plugin! Without you it'd have taken me a month to get errorformat as I needed :).

This is a good change! The docs of setfiletype explains it quite well:

:setf[iletype] {filetype}			*:setf* *:setfiletype*
			Set the 'filetype' option to {filetype}, but only if
			not done yet in a sequence of (nested) autocommands.
			This is short for:
				:if !did_filetype()
				:  setlocal filetype={filetype}
				:endif
 			This command is used in a filetype.vim file to avoid
			setting the 'filetype' option twice, causing different
			settings and syntax files to be loaded.
			{not in Vi}

Since plugins autocommands are run after user ones, we can't override the filetype if we want to change it a little like @doronbehar shows.

Interesting I didn't realise there was a difference between setfiletype and set filetype.
