remote dependencies - FYI

[phoddie]

The intriguing "add a remote dependency" feature has been pending in xs-dev for a while. We've recently done work in the Moddable SDK that may be helpful here. The feature is deployed in the current top of tree of the Moddable SDK.

Moddable SDK manifests can now include Git repositories directly. Both mcconfig and mcrun will automatically clone the repositories. The manifest document has the details.

Here's a contrived example:

{
	"include": [
		{
			"git": "https://github.com/phoddie/soundstream",
			"include": "./resource-stream/manifest.json"
		}
	]
}

Fair warning: this feature is new so it might not be perfect and the design might need refinement. Your feedback is welcome.
