Drop jQuery UI

[dmarcoux]

In order to drop jQuery UI (and the gem jquery-ui-rails), we need to stop using its features. I've looked at all the features jQuery UI provides and here's the summary of my research. Some features might include some details to clear out potential confusion.

Note: I've searched throughout the code with the following command:

rg featureNameOrFunctions -g '!src/api/vendor/' -g '!src/api/public/' src/api/app/assets src/api/app/views

jQuery UI Features Which We Are Using

Widgets

• Autocomplete (potential alternative: https://github.com/LeaVerou/awesomplete)

We also need to update the developer documentation for autocomplete in our wiki.
