Description

On Ubuntu trusty, [libclang1](http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libclang1) is version 3.4, which is correct.

The current information about libclang1 should very clearly say it only applies to Ubuntu trusty.

However, on precise, and on xenial and later, libclang1 is not version 3.4. On Xenial it is 3.8, which doesnt work with coala. And there is no Ubuntu xenial package which is 3.4.

On xenial and later, the only way to install 3.4 is to install try to install `clang-3.4` from http://apt.llvm.org/ .
