v2.5.0

This is the first release of Merlin supporting OCaml 4.03.0.

The frontend can now be extended using merlin-extend. This allows to support Reason. More preprocessors might be added later.

Otherwise there are no new user-facing features, but a lot of code has been cleaned up or rewritten.

The next step is to have a clean code base for Merlin 3.0 and start adding new features... or fixing existing ones.
