Error sorting can't be done as a postprocess function called from
SyntasticMake(), since the final values of some relevant fields (f.i.
type) might not be known yet at that point. Solution: move sorting to
getLocListRaw(), after per-checker quiet_messages. New checker methods
getWantSort() / setWantSort() are needed.
Second problem: some checkers return screen columns mixed with byte
indices. Solution: compute screen columns as needed. Sadly, everything
about working with screen columns is fragile.
Optimisation: merge handling of global and per-checker filters.
Feature: allow [] and '' values for quiet_messages filter elements.
Feature: allow overrides for quiet_messages filters.
Feature: buffer-local auto_jump and quiet_messages.
Safety: add magic specifiers to catch regexps.
Cleanup: minor restructuring for the forthcoming foreign checkers
feature.
YCM has now its own navigation functions, so there is no longer any need
to call it from syntastic.
g:syntastic_delayed_redraws is also gone. Syntastic doesn't use popup
menus, and the only purpose of this variable was to provide a workaround
for a problem triggered by YCM.

New options: g:syntastic_quiet_messages, and a per-checker version
of it named g:syntastic_<filetype>_<checker>_quiet_messages.
Option g:syntastic_quiet_warnings is now deprecated.
Option g:syntastic_ignore_files now refers only to files that shouldn't
be checked.
New variables: g:syntastic_debug_file, the name of a file where to write
debugging messages, in addition to adding them to the message history.
The old g:syntastic_debug is now a sum of flags:
* 1 - trace checker calls
* 2 - dump loclists
* 4 - trace notifiers
* 8 - trace autocommands
* 16 - dump syntastic variables (not implemented yet)
(1) Checkers now have an _exec attribute, and an accessor getExec().
(2) CreateAndRegisterChecker() initializes _exec from an optional argument
'exec'. If this argument is missing, 'name' is used instead.
(3) Functions SyntaxCheckers_*_IsAvailable() are now dictionary functions.
(4) Functions SyntaxCheckers_*_IsAvailable() are now optional. When
they are missing, they are assumed to return executable(expand(self.getExec())).
(5) Argument 'exe' of function syntastic#makeprg#build() is now optional.
If this argument is missing, expand(self.getExec()) is used to set checker
executables.
Make SyntaxCheckers_*_GetLocList() dictionary functions.
Pass a reference to the current checker to syntastic#makeprg#build().
Add an optional 'redirect' argument to CreateAndRegisterChecker().
Change the sh checker to use the new dictionary functions.
Add a new registry method getLocListRaw() (needed for the sh checker).
Older versions of Vim can crash if redraw is called while a popup is
visible. This commit adds a variable g:syntastic_delayed_redraws that
instructs syntastic to move redraws to a CursorHold / CursorHoldI
handler if redraw is called while pumvisible() is true.
