nav-flash: Added new layer variable and other changes

- Added a new layer variable `nav-flash-exclude-modes` which tells
`nav-flash/blink-cursor-maybe` not to trigger when the major mode matches one of
its elements.
- Expanded the documentation.
- Tidying up.

* Description
This layer adds [[https://github.com/rolandwalker/nav-flash][nav-flash]] package which temporarily highlights the line
@ -15,7 +18,50 @@ navigation command.
** Features:
- Fancy flashing line on navigation.
* Install
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =nav-flash= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.
* Installation
To use this configuration layer, add =nav-flash= to the existing
=dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in your =~/.spacemacs=.

#+END_SRC
* Customization
** Custom Trigger of =nav-flash=
=nav-flash= layer works around the following functions:
- =nav-flash/blink-cursor-maybe= blinks the line containing the point unless
current major mode or current command is excluded, or if =so-long-minor-mode=
is on.
- =nav-flash/delayed-blink-cursor-h= blinks after a short pause, which is useful
to wait for the point moving to the correct window.
They are added to [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Hooks.html][hooks]] or [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Advising-Functions.html][after advices]] of various functions. You can trigger
=nav-flash= in more context viaa =dotspacemacs/user-config=, for example:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;; blink after triggering evil-window-left/right/up/down
(advice-add #'evil-window-left :after #'nav-flash/blink-cursor-maybe)
(advice-add #'evil-window-right :after #'nav-flash/blink-cursor-maybe)
(advice-add #'evil-window-up :after #'nav-flash/blink-cursor-maybe)
(advice-add #'evil-window-down :after #'nav-flash/blink-cursor-maybe)
;; blink after a delay in after projectile-switch-project
(spacemacs/add-to-hooks #'nav-flash/delayed-blink-cursor-h
'(projectile-after-switch-project-hook)
t)
#+END_SRC
** Exclusion Rules
=nav-flash/blink-cursor-maybe= is configured not to flash the line when either
the command or the major mode is excluded, which can be customized via variables
=nav-flash-exclude-commands= and =nav-flash-exlude-modes= in your
=dotspacemacs/user-config=. For example,
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;; don't trigger in dired-mode
(add-to-list 'nav-flash-exclude-modes 'dired-mode )
;; don't trigger for spacemacs/alternate-buffer (SPC TAB)
(add-to-list 'nav-flash-exclude-commands 'spacemacs/alternate-buffer)
#+END_SRC
