nvim: Switch to nvim-lsp

Enabled lsp within nvim and switched completion engine from deoplete to
completion-nvim.

The completion will be somewhat more barebones for some filetypes until
the language servers are set up, but should then (theoretically) carry a
lot more features than before.

Additionally, we can, over time, add additional code inspection
functionality.

One change concerns the calling of bibtex cite key completion in pandoc
files: Where before the completion would automatically begin after
typing an '@', it will now only start on manual completion invocation
(c-p/c-n) -- since the completion from my current bibtex file takes a
while to load.
