Bug#814096: neovim: errors reading/writing shada file

[D. Stuart Freeman]

Package: neovim
Version: 0.1.1-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

On first run neovim works as expected, but on subsequent runs starts with
error:

     E576: Failed to parse ShaDa file: incomplete msgpack string at position 81

and exits with error:

     E576: Failed to parse ShaDa file: incomplete msgpack string at position 81
     E136: Did not rename /home/stuart/.local/share/nvim/shada/main.shada.tmp.a because /home/stuart/.local/share/nvim/shada/main.shada does not looks like a ShaDa file
     E136: Do not forget to remove /home/stuart/.local/share/nvim/shada/main.shada.tmp.a or rename it manually to /home/stuart/.local/share/nvim/shada/main.shada.

The shada files it references only differ by a couple bytes:

Deleting those files results in the same behavior as a clean install, they get
re-created and error again on subsequent runs.
