Move company and auto-complete to a common layer. They are not enabled globally anymore, each mode using them must explicitly declare a hook. Only one frontend is supported for a given mode, we have to choose the best between the two. Only one key binding to toggle auto-completion on `SPC t a` no matter if it is company or auto-complete. The lighter in the mode-line is Ⓐ for both frontends.
