Ensure backward compatible testing of types (#1266)

- Use "type(0)" instead of "v:t_number"
- Use "==" instead of "==#" since we are comparing numbers
- Make use of the "+=" operator
- Update the "CHANGELOG.md" file

The only real issue here is that we should prefer "type(0)" over the
special variable.  I run into this problem enough on older systems
that it frustrates me.  Let's have it fixed!

 The preceding values are the non-Windows default arrow symbols. Setting these variables to empty strings will remove the arrows completely and shift the entire tree two character positions to the left. See `:h NERDTreeDirArrowExpandable` for more details.

+### Can NERDTree access remote files via scp or ftp?
+
+Short answer: No, and there are no plans to add that functionality. However, Vim ships with a plugin that does just that. It's called netrw, and by adding the following lines to your `.vimrc`, you can use it to open files over the `scp:`, `ftp:`, or other protocols, while still using NERDTree for all local files. The function seamlessly makes the decision to open NERDTree or netrw, and other supported protocols can be added to the regular expression.
