Add kind mapping

[ray-x]

This is a port from complete-nvim feature which will show LSP kinds to a nerdfont
e.g {["Function"] = ""; ["Interface"] = "擄";}

Thank you for your contribution.

I think this feature is unnecessary because we already have https://github.com/onsails/lspkind-nvim .

I'm considering it to support by nvim-compe itself. But it still needs more time.

In fact, https://github.com/onsails/lspkind-nvim is work out of box. As it replace language server by

require('vim.lsp.protocol').CompletionItemKind = symbols

But The way Lspkind-nvim update kind is by attach the nerd font in front of kind. So the kind will be

{ " Text", "ƒ Method", " Function", ....}

But what I want is

{ "", "ƒ", " ", }

Which is similar to vscode.
Check the behavior below:
iskind:

vscode:

I'm now using lspkind with following config and it worked as you expected.

if dein#tap('lspkind-nvim')
  lua require'lspkind'.init({ with_text = false })
endif

Well, 2~3 lines of change in compe or introduce a plugin for it...
I would probably change my init.lua for this if the PR rejected.

To be honest, I think this feature needs more consideration.

For example, Currently, the buffer source results don't have kind. But user will want this configuratuon affect to buffer source, I think.

As I only need a hard code kind icon. So I can easily do this in init.vim while I waiting for this feature :
require('vim.lsp.protocol').CompletionItemKind = {'', 'ƒ', '', '', 'ﴲ', '', '', 'ﰮ', '', '', '', '', '了', '', '﬌', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', 'ﳅ', '', '', ''}

What would be ideal that:

1. Type icon in the font (same as vscode, would be great with color) and then the item.abbr

2. Set a default for those does not have kind.

[hrsh7th]

I think the ideal solution like as the following.

local compe = require'compe'

local source = {}

source.complete = function(_, context)
  local items = {}
  table.insert(items, {
    word = 'something';
    kind = compe.helper.kind.Keyword;
  })
  context.complete({
    items = items
  })
end

It means we should define kind table in nvim-compe built-in.
Currently, it depends on the LSP but it should be able to use in some other sources.
