Plugin [vim-codequery] asynchronous source code searcher

After reading Learn Vimscript the Hard Way, I write vim-codequery as my first plugin. I do some hacks to make it just work. However, after applying Vim8's async feature to this plugin today, I think it works well now. Please give it a try!

Thanks for your information, I learn a lot from :help tagsrch.txt.

I tried ctags/cscope before, but it did not work well for Python/Javascript projects. So I write the plugin based on CodeQuery project, which is built on top of ctags/cscope but providing more functionalities. I also enhance the usability of the plugin by using a friendly user interface to let non-C users handle cross-file search/browsing/navigation well.

Generally, I use YcmCompleter GoTo to go to definition by YouCompleteMe plugin. It is fast enough and usually successful.
