Piwik Plugin files generator to easily create your first plugin!

[mattab]

During meetup in Paris it was mentionned the plugin generator tool would be implemented using the CLI Piwik toolkit.

• creates the file templates for plugin+controller+API+travis_CI+templates+css+js+ plugins.json
• initializes Git repository (git init+commit)

Thoughts on how it could work:

php piwik test # run all test groups 
php piwik test integration
php piwik test core
php piwik test TreemapVisualization

php piwik generate plugin MyPlugin
php piwik generate plugin MyPlugin "my description"
php piwik generate api MyPlugin
php piwik generate controller MyPlugin
php piwik generate tests MyPlugin

php piwik archive
php piwik archive --url=http://localhost/piwik

• forwarding parameters
• strtolower parameters

Awesome work Thomas!

@diosmosis maybe you can incorporate the Plugin file generator super-tricks in the docs plan (and update the files used as templates)
