This change should fix the random hangs and segfaults when using the clang
completer. Also, assertion errors printed to the console on vim exit should go
away too, same thing with segfaults on vim exit. These "on exit" errors were
caused by not cleanly shutting down the background threads; both the identifier
completer and the clang one now join the threads on destruction. This results in
a clean shutdown.
The new clang completer architecture now uses only one clang thread (again)
instead of a completion and parsing thread. Since the parsing task needs to wait
on the completion task if it was started first (and vice-versa) there's no point
to using two threads. The desired "simplicity" of using two threads for these
two tasks actually created needless complexity (and bugs). Sigh. Such is life.
A TranslationUnit abstraction was also created and this in turn also reduces the
complexity of the clang completer.
The clang completer now also has some (very) basic tests.
The completion text in the menu is different. We used to just show the func name
in the "main" part of the completion menu, now we show the full signature
without the return type (which is shown on the right)
This should help catch cases where the user jumps to an identifier and then
edits it in place; we want to add that new ident to the db ASAP because the user
may want to have it completed soon.
Still, we're not perfect. If the user just deletes chars with 'x' or 'd' in Vim
and therefore never even enters insert mode we are obviously not going to pick
up that identifier until the next full file sweep.
Clang searches for these files and if it doesn't find them, completion is twice
as slow (or slower) than otherwise.

We limit the number of candidates returned to Vim to 20 and also make sure that
we are not returning any duplicate candidates. This provides a noticeable
improvement in latency.
This makes the whole plugin much faster since we now don't need to serialize and
deserialize the return values from python funcs before we can use them in Vim.
Oh God I've been waiting for something like this for so long... using this also
forces us to demand vim 7.3.584 or higher.
First off, we don't block the GUI thread anymore for ClangCompleter (that was
always temporary). Secondly, now ClangCompleter will cache the data coming from
clang so that query-based filtering of members is fast.
This change was also the root cause of the crash bug I spent two days tracking
down. The problem was that the new bool member was not added to the custom copy
ctor... since we don't really need a custom copy ctor for Result, we're going
with the compiler-provided one.
This removes the need for a special overload for AddCandidatesToDatabase. Also,
the GetFuture function now provides a more sensible API with the list being
returned instead of accepted as an out parameter.
