feat(wpcarro/emacs): Prefer Vim style of word-searching r/3558
In my opinion the following versions of compound words should be searched
similarly...

- `testingThisOut`   (camel case)
- `TestingThisOut`   (class case)
- `testing_this_out` (snake case)
- `testing-this-out` (kebab case)

...but Emacs's default searching treats the snake and kebab cases differently,
which makes it difficult to search for buffer-local occurrences of symbols in
Python, Elisp (among other languages).

This has been bothering me for some time. I must've attempted to fix this awhile
ago by using `setq` (when I should've used `customize-set-variable`, which makes
me wonder: how much of my configuration is flaky because I'm using `setq` where
I should be using `customize-set-variable`?

For more context about this change, see `describe-variable` for
`evil-symbol-word-search`.
