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.
It's now possible to deal with \0 characters in checkers' output.
Shell escaping is saner and safer.
SyntasticMake() has a new option 'preprocess'.
Checkers html/validator and eruby/ruby now use the new preprocess
option. Auxilliary script validator_decode.awk is no longer needed.
This patch adds an option 'postprocess' to SyntasticMake(). The value
of this option is a list of names. Each name is translated to a
function syntastic#postprocess#name(). These functions are applied in
order to the list of errors just before SyntasticMake() returns. They
take a single parameter, the list of errors, and are supposed to
returned the processed list.
If the first error in the location list refers to a file that isn't
loaded, entering the quickfix window would close it.
If `hidden` is set, `:quit`-ing the main file would not close the
quickfix window.
Move the autoloc list toggling out into its own notifier class.
Move the function that echos the error on the current line out into its
own notifier.
A few other changes were required in the process:
* move s:WideMsg() out into syntastic#util autoload lib so it is
available from the cursor notifier.
* move s:ShowLocList() into the LocList class so it is available for
the autoloclist notifier
* move s:HideLocList() into Loclist as a class method mainly to keep the
two show/hide methods together
* move the s:old_line var into the Cursor notifier where it is needed
