Console commands

[radutopala]

We should be able to run commands directly from the main binary if in prod env or through aah binary when in dev mode.

Please see Buffalo grifts at https://github.com/markbates/grift, https://github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/tree/master/grifts.

• Implement console module
• Update aah CLI to use new console module
• Adapt new console module for aah application binary (startup, version, etc)
• Documentation

@radutopala I like the idea. Could you provide further details on commands that would be a candidate to be run from app/main binary?

I could think of one action is database migrate from app library.

@jeevatkm I'd see this as a generic gate for any kind of commands that a developer needs to create in his app, similar to what Symfony has done with the Console component Or Buffalo with Grifts.

So, basically, we should be allowed:

• to create N number of commands
• attach them to the main binary in prod or run them through aah in dev; in dev, commands should be parsed on-the-fly, let's say from the root/command folder; in prod, commands should be embedded in VFS

Examples can be numerous: db migration command, one-off commands, import commands, app specific setup commands etc

@radutopala Now I fully understood. Thanks. So console module it is 😄

@jeevatkm I've renamed the issue to be in line with the spec 😄
