Setup laravel application like a PRO

A Laravel PRO setup.md

These changes will make your application awesome.

Models

Change base model extend

Chage the model stub so that common functionality can be added to all model, same as controller.

Strict mode

All unsed properties, morphs without mapping, lazy loading will be disabled on local.

Immutable Dates

Dates will be immutable default and you are free to update and use without worring about the inconsistancy in data.

Test

Freeze Time

This will freeze the time for test and checking date time during the test execution at different stages will bring the consistant results. I found is very usefull while testing for file name contain date and time.
