Do not call user's completion function if the start column is after the current
column or if there are no candidates. This avoids keeping the user in
completion mode even if there is no completion menu.
Use the timers feature to display diagnostics asynchronously instead of waiting
for an autocommand to trigger.
Increase Vim version requirement to 7.4.1578.
Drop the CursorHold and CursorHoldI autocommands.
Parse buffer on the TextChanged autocommand instead of CursorMoved.
[READY] Add client logfile
We have a lot of issue reports with Python exceptions that interrupt user workflow or even worse make the editor unusable and force users to restart it (e.g. issue https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe/issues/2192). We really want to avoid that but at the same time we can't just silence these exceptions because they are useful to debug the issue. Logging them to Vim `:messages` is not practical because we can't write to it without displaying messages in the status line which, in addition to distract users, may lead to various issues like the infamous `Press ENTER or type command to continue` message. This is why a logfile is needed.
For now, only server crashes are logged but more logging will be added: connection issues with the server (`ConnectTimeout`, `ReadTimeout`, etc. exceptions), UltiSnips unavailability, requests sent to the server, etc.
The behavior of the `:YcmToggleLogs` command is changed to accept multiple arguments where each argument is a logfile name. Each of these files is opened in a separate window or closed if already open. When no argument is given, the list of available logfiles is displayed to the user. Example:
```
Available logfiles are:
ycm_pz83u7.log
ycmd_23830_stderr_gf6j3i.log
ycmd_23830_stdout_gmpa_k.log
```
With this change and PR #2342, we will add the completers logfiles to the list of files that can be opened with the `:YcmToggleLogs` command.
A bunch of tests are added that cover almost all changes introduced by this PR.

[READY] Bumps required Vim to 7.4.143 and adopts TextChangedI.
Long and personal experience, when TextChangedI gets used, YCM seems
to perform better, diagnostics will trigger much less frequently at
inappropriate occasions, even less with whitespace agnostic triggers,
if I recall correctly...
There's a previous discussion at #1337. At the time this change was bundled in
a single pull request with other changes.
It has gone through the test of the time, sole issue I've stumbled upon was reported
by @puremourning at https://github.com/oblitum/YouCompleteMe/issues/10. This
is what me and other users of my fork use daily.

[READY] Mention all natively supported languages in documentation
We mention all supported languages except C-family languages and JavaScript in the `Semantic Completion for Other Languages` section of the documentation. Add them.
