nim.cfg based interop

Nimble requirements

Add a new command called nimble usecfg
- Creates/updates nimbledeps.cfg
- Adds --path entries for all dependencies
- Includes --clearNimblePath as well to remove any scanned packages already added
- Uses @include in nim.cfg to load nimbledeps.cfg if it exists
Nimble should detect if project is in usecfg mode

The following RFC aims to implement lock file support for Nimble. This is being tracked in issue 127 but this proposal is a simpler variation.

Intro:

lock mode will be enabled by a flag in nimble.ini
- Since it is a new feature, this will reduce impact on the existing user base
- It can be turned on by default in the future when stable enough
Lock information will be stored in $prj/nim.cfg
- Nimble will append autogenerated section if existing
- Nimble will update when any dep changes occur
- Nimble will consume when having to install deps

Following is the RFC for providing project local dependencies in Nimble. This is being tracked in issue 131 and discussed in the Nim forum.

Definitions:

local deps mode - this RFC to enable project local dependencies where $prj/nimbledeps is used by Nimble on a per project basis
user deps mode - current Nimble behavior of using ~/.nimble since dependencies are usable across projects for a specific user
global deps mode - tracked in issue 80 where a system-wide folder can be used to store dependencies across users and projects. It is not covered in this RFC.

Motivations:

The main value of local deps mode is to provide dependency isolation from other projects. Isolation simply makes development easier and avoids any conflicts caused by mixing dependencies across projects.
local deps mode is simply a mode of operation during development and is not e
