PyDev 5.8.0: Code Coverage fixes, IronPython debugging

[Fabio Zadrozny]

PyDev 5.8.0 Release Highlights

   -

   *Important* PyDev now requires Java 8 and Eclipse 4.6 (Neon) onwards.
   - PyDev 5.2.0 is the last release supporting Eclipse 4.5 (Mars).
   -

   *Code Analysis*
   - Fixed issue getting existing PyLint markers.
      - There's now an Info and an Ignore level.
   -

   *Debugger*
   - The debugger now provides hooks for clients and provides ways to
      extend the handling of custom types. See:
      https://github.com/fabioz/PyDev.Debugger/tree/master/pydevd_plugins/extensions
(patch
      by *Yuli Fiterman*).
      - Fixed issue where the debugger could end up removing quotes on
      args. *#PyDev-797*
      - The debugger now works with IronPython again -- although note that
      *IronPython* *2.7.6* and *2.7.7* have a critical bug which prevents
      IronPython from working in PyDev:
      https://github.com/IronLanguages/main/issues/1663
   -

   *Code Coverage*
   - Fixed issue getting code-coverage version. *#PyDev-791*
      - Properly works when running with pytest (provided that pytest-cov
      is installed).
   -

   *Others*
   - Update .yaml file for google app engine project templates (patch by
      *JunjieW*).
      - Upgraded Lucene to 6.1.0 (patch by *Sopot Cela*).
      - Update docstring from parameters (Ctrl+1 on *def*) properly
      considers sphinx with types. *#PyDev-787*
      - Code Completion: Properly finding *__init__* from superclass in
      inherited classes. *#PyDev-802*
      - No longer showing icon to start interactive console in toolbar
      because Eclipse could end up creating multiple entries which were shown
      forever. *#PyDev-708*
      - Other minor bugfixes.
