add a cli tool to launch local app with VCAP_SERVICES from cf app #4

To make life easier when running apps locally, it would be nice to have a cli tool which you could use to launch an app, and have the VCAP_SERVICES env var from the app running in Cloud Foundry set in the local launch.

Basic idea is this:

determine app name from manifest.yml
run cf env {appName}
capture VCAP_SERVICES entry
launch command specified as arguments to the cli tool, with the VCAP_SERVICES env var set to what came back from cf env

After seeing this again after ~2 years, seems like it's good fodder for a separate npm package, rather than including it here. Pretty much has nothing to do with what cfenv does today.

Closing, but could be convinced to re-open with a good argument for it.

Makes sense
