Add easy-motion

I hate attempting to learn new things, but jumping down a few lines or
words is fine if you can see how many there are, this approach allows
me to have a leader key show me various destinations.

*** Evil Easy Motion
The [[https://github.com/PythonNut/evil-easymotion][evil-easymotion]] project combines [[Jump with Avy][avy]] and evil keybindings, where ~SPC j~ shows labels for all the lines below the cursor, so that you can jump right there. This doesnt work well with a leader, but what about using Key Chords?

My ~F19~ key is within easy reach of my [[https://configure.zsa.io/moonlander/layouts/L4laD/latest/0][Moonlander configuration]], so this might be a good, if somewhat distracting, feature. Perhaps a better solution is to use [[Jump with Avy][avy]] (see below).
** General Leader Key Sequences
The one thing that both Spacemacs and Doom taught me, is how much I like the /key sequences/ that begin with a leader key. In both of those systems, the key sequences begin in the /normal state/ with a space key. This means, while typing in /insert state/, I have to escape to /normal state/ and then hit the space.
