Summary:
In order to enhance C++ metaprogramming capabilities, a custom
preprocessing step is added before compilation. C++ code may be mixed
with Lisp code in order to generate a complete C++ source code. The
mechanism is hooked into cmake. To notify cmake of .lcp files, `add_lcp`
function in src/CMakeLists.txt needs to be invoked.
The main executable entry point is in tools/lcp, while the source code
is in src/lisp/lcp.lisp
The main goal of LCP is to auto generate class serialization code and
member variable getter functions. This should now be significantly less
error prone, since you cannot forget to serialize a member variable
through this mechanism. Future uses should be generating other repeating
code, such as `Clone` methods or perhaps some debug information.
.lcp files may contain mixed C++ code (enclosed in #>cpp ... cpp<#
blocks) with Common Lisp code.
NOTE: With great power comes great responsibility. Lisp metaprogramming
capabilities are incredibly powerful. To keep the sanity of the team
intact, use Lisp preprocessing only when *really* necessary.

Summary:
Adding all you guys as reviewers. Feel free to take a peek and comment
on whatever is not clear. Where needed the documentation can be extended
or concepts explained in-person.

Summary:
Add quick start document for new developers.
Add developer documentation for C++ code style.
Add git and arc workflow document.
This is the first step in moving parts of the documentation related to
development from Phabricator wiki to git tracked markdown files. Most of
the changes here overhaul the text from the wiki, to make it more
friendly for new developers.
Markdown uses the Github flavored extensions, and should easily
be converted to any other document using `pandoc`.
