vim-easytags Universal Ctags change their version schema

With the last universal ctags version we got an error on easytags loading:

.vim/bundle/vim-easytags/plugin/easytags.vim
easytags.vim 3.11: Plug-in not loaded because Exuberant Ctags 5.5 or newer is required while you have version 0.0.0 installed!

This is due to a format change on --version:

$ ctags --version
Universal Ctags 0.0.0(7b44752), Copyright (C) 2015 Universal Ctags Team
Universal Ctags is derived from Exuberant Ctags.
Exuberant Ctags 5.8, Copyright (C) 1996-2009 Darren Hiebert

Yeah, I'm running into the same error here too. Can confirm that my --version looks the exact same as above.

The plugin should (at least) link to the readme for users to know how to disable this message

Merge request #133 already requested, in order to fix Universal ctags detection; but seems the development of easytags is a bit stagnant for now, so for now applying the patch manually is the easy way out.
