Rewrite to support settings_schema.json.

[gavinballard]

With the new settings_schema.json settings format replacing settings.html in Shopify themes, this plugin is currently deprecated.

This issue exists to gauge interest in reviving it with support for settings_schema.json. The new JSON format is much easier to maintain than the old settings.html, but it still suffers from a few issues:

• No support for splitting settings up into individual files;
• No support for repeated sections;
• JSON syntax is still quite verbose.

An updated version of grunt-shopify-theme-settings would provide support for the above features, while using the simple YAML syntax of the original and compile down to JSON.

Hey @gavinballard - I've rewritten the settings.html file to convert to a settings_schema.json. Let me know if you'd like to check out the code.

Hey @nathanparker! I don't generally have the time to maintain this repository, so while I'm happy to review pull requests to bring something like a new shopify_convert_settings task into the package, I'm unable to write it myself.

If you're willing to write a PR for this, I promise I'll take a look :).

@nathanparker did you end up checking out the code and creating a repo? We'd love to use it!
