Use Shields to generate badges

[Anahkiasen]

The current badges seem a little "out of place" with all the other ones. It'd be great if they were generated with Shields to unify their styles with Travis's, Gittip's and Scrutinizer's, etc. :

👍 great idea

related to #81

[liuggio]

would you like to improve it?

[liuggio]

another options would be use https://github.com/badges/buckler :)

[Anahkiasen]

Ah yes nice, well Buckler uses Shields underneath so it's pretty much the same but might be a lot easier to implement.

[liuggio]

:) the goal could be improve the image template and the font,
or create a BucklerImageCreator that uses the buckler command line

Now badges have fixed image dimensions.

actual	with buckler

what do you think?

[Anahkiasen]

I think it's better that way : fixed dimensions is a false good idea.

As most badges are displayed inline in READMEs it's never actually noticed that they're all the same size but on the other hand it constrains you and you have to find shortcuts to fit all your text in that predefined width which leads to problem (see dev-master badge). So at least for me I think it's better that way.

@liuggio did you create the Buckler's badge with Buckler command line ? Can you please write the parameters you used ? Especially colors.

[liuggio]

eb8517 for orange
58a4d5 for light blue
but feel free to modify it :)

[liuggio]

@Anahkiasen are you going to work on this?
or someone else will do it.

Let us know thanks.
