autocomplete: Put best matches near input field.

This commit reverses the list that was originally
presented to the user while showing the typeahead menu.

This makes sense since on mobile its easier to click
on options closer to the input box, i.e.
where your fingers are currently present,
instead of pressing arrow keys on a keyboard which is
true on a desktop setup.

Hence we place the best matching options
not at the top of the typeahead menu, but
instead put them at the bottom for better
reachability and convenience of the user.

Tests have been added to verify the
emoji and mention render behavior.

Also mentions dependencies on zulip#226 where
required.
