Title: Bg Highlight + bind mentions to jquery data + option to remove trigger character on selection

pardon any clustery wonky-ness as this is my first pull request. these addition allows:

* visual highlighting the background of matched mentions. if you break the string match, the highlighted background will also disappear.

* the mentioned objects are also stored as an array and bound to the textarea as jquery data.

* i added an option to allow for removing the trigger character when a selection has been made.

thanks for the super useful plugin
