Subject: [PATCH] Adds vundle-before-update tag to unbreak plugins

Sometimes plugins break after update. In those cases it's difficult to
restore the plugin to its previous version. With this commit Vundle will
create a tag (`vundle-before-update`) which keeps track of the commit
used before an update. This makes it easy to go back to use the previous
version.
