add ivy support to bibtex layer

[bdarcus]

Add support for inserting citations as with helm-bibtex, but with ivy.

Org-ref does include an ivy version, but there seems to be some problem with separating it out as a separate package. The author suggests:

If helm is a deal breaker, I would suggest you run org-ref off the git repo and manage the packages yourself. You could use el-get for that.

There is an ivy-bibtex package now: https://github.com/tmalsburg/helm-bibtex. Could it be used for that?

@brabalan it's been awhile since I've looked into the details, and I'm not comfortable enough with emacs and spacemacs to know for sure, but it does seem that helm-bibtex (well, ivy-bibtex) may have this functionality now (to browse bibliographies and insert citations into org and markdown documents).

I think the issue is that one has to install helm to use helm-bibtex, even if one uses the ivy completion system. It would be great if ivy-bibtex was installed instead of helm-bibtex in that case.

I know that's true of org-ref. Is that really the case with ivy-bibtex? https://melpa.org/#/ivy-bibtex

I don't know.

Been a long time, but I just confirmed that ivy-bibtex does indeed have citation browsing and insertion functionality.

ivy should already be supported on the latest develop branch https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/tree/develop/layers/%2Blang/bibtex
