EverVim 20170227 Released

The first release ever for EverVim!

It's been around half a year since I first start this vim distrobution as a fork of spf13-vim.
The vim config from spf13 has always been great for its customization and comprehensiveness.
EverVim is not for replacing spf13-vim. It's just a different flavor that is suitable and attractive to more vimers.
Let's start with the features that EverVim has, apart from those brilliance of spf13-vim
