neovimUtils.grammarToPlugin: install tree-sitter grammars for neovim without nvim-treesitter

nvim-treesitter installs tons of queries that are picked up
by neovim even though we sometimes dont want those queries.
This makes it possible to install grammars without nvim-treesitter which
becomes more and more a repository like nvim-lspconfig, aka a repo that
lists others.
