[READY] Improve server crash notification at startup
Instead of notifying the user if the server crashed immediately after starting it (which is unlikely to work because the server process is necessarily up at this point), do it during polling.

# Why this change is necessary and useful
This is a non-code PR adding instructions to the README.md file for situations where `cmake` may be the issue. The instructions simply specify that under certain scenarios, using `cmake3` instead of `cmake` may address the compilation-issues of YCM (eg. on older systems like Ubuntu 14.04). A reference to this issue can be found under the discussion here: [link](https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe/issues/2729#issuecomment-332961003)

On Windows, the options file cannot be deleted while it is still open by
another process. Close the file before starting the server. Do not explicitly
flush the file as closing implies flushing.
[READY] Improve path to python interpreter error handling
YCM returns the cryptic error `YouCompleteMe unavailable: [Errno 2] No such file or directory` when the Python interpreter path used to start the server doesn't exist. See issues https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe/issues/2773 and https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe/issues/2775.
This PR improves that by using the `FindExecutable` and `GetExecutable` functions from ycmd to check if the Python interpreter path exists (and is an executable) and by returning a much more helpful message if it doesn't. We use `FindExecutable` instead of `GetExecutable` on the `g:ycm_server_python_interpreter` option so that the user can specify a Python path with just the executable name (e.g. `python`, `python2`, `python3`).
This also fixes a Python traceback in Vim that occurs when, after successfully starting the server, the `g:ycm_server_python_interpreter` option is set to an invalid path and the server is restarted with `:YcmRestartServer`. Steps to reproduce are:
- start Vim with a working YCM;
- type `:let g:ycm_server_python_interpreter = '/invalid/python/path'`;
- type `:YcmRestartServer`.

[READY] Do not open location list at the bottom of screen
The location list is specific to the current window so it should be opened inside the current window (default behavior), not to full width at the bottom of the screen (with `:botright`).

[READY] Update ClearCompilationFlagCache docs
Update the documentation for the `ClearCompilationFlagCache` subcommand by taking into account that:
- the `do_cache` parameter is set to `True` by default;
- the flags from the compilation database are also cached;
- restarting the server clears the cache.

[READY] Improve error message when server crashes
This PR improves the error message displayed to the user when the server unexpectedly crashes by giving the exact command to type to open the server logfile.
We could go further by automatically opening the server logfile but this is too disruptive in my opinion.

[READY] Do not read server standard error
When the ycmd server crashes, we read its standard error and log the result. Unfortunately, this blocks Vim if a sub-server is still running after the crash (e.g. JediHTTP). In that case, the only way to unblock Vim is to manually kill the sub-server.
We could fix the issue by writing some (non-trivial) code that reads ycmd `stderr` without blocking but instead we simply don't read it at all. The drawback is small: [ycmd immediately redirects its `stdout` and `stderr` to logfiles at startup](ff255aed4a/ycmd/__main__.py (L150-L153)). In other words, reading its `stderr` is only useful if ycmd crashed before the redirection. This is something that should never happen.
