Add support for composer

[davidmosterd]

Based on https://roots.io/wordpress-plugins-with-composer/ we have had requests to support composer. This allows installs who manage their plugin by composer to more easily manage our plugin instead of making an exact reference and update it manually.

Hello, work fine for me in wordpress-plugin folder, but not in muplugins. I think the license key is missing in auto-activation process, but don't know how to specifiy it, for exemple in the .env file. Any idea ?

my composer setting

{
            "type": "package",
            "package": {
                "name": "codepress/admin-columns-pro",
                "version": "4.1",
                "type": "wordpress-plugin",
                "dist": {
                    "type": "zip",
                    "url": "https://www.admincolumns.com/?wc-api=software-licence-api&request=plugindownload&licence_key=xxx&plugin_name=admin-columns-pro"
                },
                "require" : {
                    "composer/installers": "^1.0"
                }
            }
        }

all the best.

Bit late, but:

.env file: ACP_LICENCE=""

wp-config.php: define('ACP_LICENCE', getenv('ACP_LICENCE'));
