[ESS] ess-eldoc via ssh remote session

[Vitalie Spinu]

All the issues with the remote should be fixed now. We moved to
standalone R package for our support code. That made things much easier
with the remote sessions. I would really appreciate if people could
check if it works with ess-remote (in shell and ssh) and tramp.

Thanks, 

  Vitalie
