This script implements naming rules for App-based Casks
as currently documented. After some real-world testing, this
logic should be merged into brew cask create. This commit adds
doc/CASK_NAMING_REFERENCE.md, and reduces CONTRIBUTING.md by
422 words.

@vitorgalvao here is the result of our efforts. This script correctly predicts
the current names of all but 18 link-based Casks (less than 2%).

It also checks the current repo for name collisions. The logic is
idempotent in that (although the script is designed to accept App paths),
correctly formed Cask names will pass through unchanged. This is an
important criterion for any future merger with brew cask create.


The easiest way to name a Cask is to run this command:
```bash
$ /usr/local/Library/Taps/phinze-cask/developer/bin/cask_namer '/full/path/to/new/software.app'

Looking good. The amount of work you’ve been putting into this is commendable.

"Quantity has a quality all its own".

Oh, one rule sneaked into this PR that we didn't discuss: removing trailing "app" from the name (separate from the extension .app). I forgot to bring it up in a separate issue because it did not affect any existing Cask names.

In this case, it has been a high quantity of high quality work.

Yes, I very much agree with that (I actually thought we had discussed it).
