[READY] Add JavaScript completion using Tern completer

## JavaScript completer

Adds support for native JavaScript completion using ycmd's Tern completer.

WIP because relies on #1848 to be merged first.

This PR:

- Adds functional documentation to the README.md
- Adds configuration documentation to the README.md
- Updates the vim doc inline with the above
- And, most importantly, updates `ycmd` submodule to include the Tern completer and the additional fixes.

## ycmd changes

There are quite a lot of commits going in to ycmd. Here's a summary of the PRs:
```

### JavaScript semantic completion
#### Quick start
1. Ensure that you have enabled the Tern completer. See the
[installation guide](#installation) for details.
2. Create a `.tern-project` file in the root directory of your JavaScript
project, by following the [instructions][tern-project] in the [Tern][]
documentation.
3. Make sure that Vim's working directory is a descendent of that directory (or
that directory itself) when working with JavaScript files.
#### Explanation
JavaScript completion is based on [Tern][]. This completion engine requires a
file named [`.tern-project`][tern-project] to exist in the current working
directory or a directory which is an ancestor of the current working directory
when the tern server is started. YCM starts the Tern server the first time a
JavaScript file is edited, so Vim's working directory at that time needs to be a
descendent of the directory containing the `.tern-project` file (or that
directory itself).
Alternatively, as described in the [Tern documentation][tern-docs], a global
`.tern-config` file may be used.
Multiple Tern servers, are not supported. To switch to a different
JavaScript project, you can do one of the following:
- start a new instance of Vim from the new project's directory
- change Vim's working directory (`:cd /path/to/new/project`) and restart the
`ycmd` server (`:YcmRestartServer`)
- change Vim's working directory (`:cd /path/to/new/project`), open a JavaScript
file (or set filetype to JavaScript) and restart the Tern server using YCM
completer subcommands `:YcmCompleter StopServer` and `:YcmCompleter
StartServer`.
#### Tips and tricks
This section contains some advice for configuring `.tern-project` and working
with JavaScript files. The canonical reference for correctly configuring Tern is
the [Tern documentation][tern-docs]. Any issues, improvements, advice, etc.
should be sought from the [Tern][] project. For example, see the [list of tern
plugins](http://ternjs.net/doc/manual.html#plugins) for the list of plugins
which can be enabled in the `plugins` section of the `.tern-project` file.
##### Configuring Tern for node support
The following simple example `.tern-project` file enables nodejs support:
```json
{
"plugins": {
"node": {}
}
}
```
##### Configuring Tern for requirejs support
The Tern requirejs plugin requires that all included "libraries" are rooted
under the same base directory. If that's not the case for your projects, then it
is possible to make it work with appropriate symbolic links. For example, create
a directory `ext_lib` within your project and populate it with symlinks to your
libraries. Then set up the `.tern-project` something like this:
```json
{
"plugins": {
"requirejs": {
"baseURL": "./ext_lib",
}
}
}
```
Then, given the following structure:
```
./ext_lib/mylib (symlink)
./ext_lib/anotherlib (symlink)
```
Can be used as follows:
```javascript
define( [ 'mylib/file1', 'anotherlib/anotherfile' ], function( f1, f2 ) {
// etc.
} );
```
### Semantic completion for other languages
Python, C#, Go, and TypeScript are supported natively by YouCompleteMe using the [Jedi][],
[Omnisharp][], [Gocode][], and [TSServer][] engines, respectively. Check the

if desired.

JavaScript semantic completion ~
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*youcompleteme-quick-start*
Quick start ~
1. Ensure that you have enabled the Tern completer. See the installation
guide for details.
2. Create a '.tern-project' file in the root directory of your JavaScript
project, by following the instructions [33] in the Tern [10]
documentation.
3. Make sure that Vim's working directory is a descendent of that directory
(or that directory itself) when working with JavaScript files.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*youcompleteme-explanation*
Explanation ~
JavaScript completion is based on Tern [10]. This completion engine requires a
file named '.tern-project' [33] to exist in the current working directory or a
directory which is an ancestor of the current working directory when the tern
server is started. YCM starts the Tern server the first time a JavaScript file
is edited, so Vim's working directory at that time needs to be a descendent of
the directory containing the '.tern-project' file (or that directory itself).
Alternatively, as described in the Tern documentation [34], a global '.tern-
config' file may be used.
Multiple Tern servers, are not supported. To switch to a different JavaScript
project, you can do one of the following:
- start a new instance of Vim from the new project's directory
- change Vim's working directory (':cd /path/to/new/project') and restart the
'ycmd' server (|:YcmRestartServer|)
- change Vim's working directory (':cd /path/to/new/project'), open a
JavaScript file (or set filetype to JavaScript) and restart the Tern server
using YCM completer subcommands ':YcmCompleter StopServer' and
':YcmCompleter StartServer'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*youcompleteme-tips-tricks*
Tips and tricks ~
This section contains some advice for configuring '.tern-project' and working
with JavaScript files. The canonical reference for correctly configuring Tern
is the Tern documentation [34]. Any issues, improvements, advice, etc. should
be sought from the Tern [10] project. For example, see the list of tern plugins
[35] for the list of plugins which can be enabled in the 'plugins' section of
the '.tern-project' file.

*youcompleteme-configuring-tern-for-node-support*

<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*youcompleteme-configuring-tern-for-requirejs-support*
Configuring Tern for requirejs support ~
The Tern requirejs plugin requires that all included "libraries" are rooted
under the same base directory. If that's not the case for your projects, then
it is possible to make it work with appropriate symbolic links. For example,
create a directory 'ext_lib' within your project and populate it with symlinks
to your libraries. Then set up the '.tern-project' something like this:
>
{
"plugins": {
"requirejs": {
"baseURL": "./ext_lib",
}
}
}
<
Then, given the following structure:
>
./ext_lib/mylib (symlink)
./ext_lib/anotherlib (symlink)
<
Can be used as follows:
>
define( [ 'mylib/file1', 'anotherlib/anotherfile' ], function( f1, f2 ) {
