$VOLTPATH/rc/default/[g]vimrc is not being generated #272

Description

@hupfdule

When installing a plugin with volt, I get the following output:

$ volt get tpope/vim-fugitive
[INFO] Full building /home/hupfdule/.vim/pack/volt/opt directory ...
[INFO] Installing vimrc and gvimrc ...
+ github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive > installed

It tells me something about a vimrc and gvimrc being installed, but that is actually not the case.
My original ~/.vimrc is still unmodifed and the directory $VOLTPATH/rc doesn't even exist.

I actually don't even know what should happen. The README isn't clear about that. Should volt at any time touch my ~/.vimrc? I expect not. Should it modify an existing $VOLTPATH/rc/defauilt/vimrc? I expect so. But am I responsible for symlinking my real ~/.vimrc to $VOLTPATH/rc/default/vimrc? I don't know. And if volt is creating/modifying that vimrc, what does in enter there?

It should be stated more clearly in the README what the user should do here. I expected that $VOLTPATH/rc/default/vimrc would be created by volt and the installed packages magically get activated.

I am using the release version 0.3.5 of volt.
