patch 8.0.0716: not easy to start Vim cleanly

Browse Source 
Problem:    Not easy to start Vim cleanly without changing the viminfo file.
            Not possible to know whether the -i command line flag was used.
Solution:   Add the --clean command line argument.  Add the 'viminfofile'
            option.  Add "-u DEFAULTS".

vim --clean -c 'e $VIMRUNTIME/tutor/tutor' -c 'w! TUTORCOPY' -c 'q'

This will write the file "TUTORCOPY" in the current directory. To use a
translated version of the tutor, append the two-letter language code to the
filename. For French:
>
vim -u NONE -c 'e $VIMRUNTIME/tutor/tutor.fr' -c 'w! TUTORCOPY' -c 'q'
vim --clean -c 'e $VIMRUNTIME/tutor/tutor.fr' -c 'w! TUTORCOPY' -c 'q'
