Tool for syncing component configuration with remote model

[robhrt7]

Apart from standalone tool, for editing component configuration #13, we need sync command, that will send all the updates of local developed component to remote model.

During execution, command will do following actions:

@igord

1. get properties of the widget from the portal
2. check index.html(if it exists) for g:preference tag its and modification date
3. check config file(if it exists) where properties are stored and its modification date
4. compare values and optionally dates
5. submit changes to the portal

Subjects for discussion:

• name of the command
• default targets for editing files
• should we have watch task for it, or not

[robhrt7]

In my opinion, we should not have watch command for this action, as it could lead to some unexpected remote model changing. Especially, if IDE have auto-save, we don't want to submit not finished configuration and spam server with requests.

@operatino see #13
All this is solved by one command. There are no 'unexpected' changes as you are always submitting standard REST API xml and you always keep your property data only inside it.

I agree,

Also see this strange atribute used for removing properties:

Igor might be something you could add into the REST API?

If @igord and @craigwalkeruk don't see any problems with watch process for syncing model with remote, and watch will run only with flag, then I don't have any issues with that.
