New library: Hoa\Devtools

[Hywan]

Hello :-),

I propose a new library: Hoa\Devtools. Here is the POC. You can read the README.md, all the informations are written inside. The goal is to provide a set of development tools, for developers or maintainers, not for users.

Thoughts?

I am asking a review of all @hoaproject/hoackers :-).

If this PR is accepted, we need to update the documentation (for hoa core:paste for example) and some other README.md or stuff like that.

What kind of tools would you provide in this library ?

[Hywan]

@stephpy According to the README, some tools present in Hoa\Core would move into Hoa\Devtools, in addition to new tools for maintainers and developers. For instance: hoa devtools:requiresnapshot is very helpful to know whether a library requires a new snapshot or not (with a summary). We can also imagine, as referenced in hoaproject/Core#61, to have a hoa devtools:checkconfiguration or something like that to check the configuration of the environment. Thoughts?

Hello,

When I test the Ruler library i found an misconfig in my git config, this misconfig are related to the option autocrlf, maybe it will be good to talk about it in installation process and an check in devtools
And a link to https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/#platform-all

(Sorry for the english xD)
Any idea about it ?

for remember autocrlf transform the lineending in the repository, and when you use isIdenticalTo asserter (in test), it fails because the source use \n line ending and the test \r\n 👯

@camael24 +1 to detect it while checking the configuration.
