Haxe linter

[aurieh]

Some (hopefully) helpful notes:

• Haxe.org
• Compile-time error format: {filename}.hx:{line num}: characters {from char}-{to char} : {message} : {specifier} (specifier is not always there; see examples)
• Haxe compiler has several special compiler flags for linking, -lib and -cp. We might need to read those off build.hxml (doc)
• When targeting C#, Java or C++, it might have linking errors in a different format.
• You might want to also see how vaxe's make command works: this

Compiler error samples (targeting Neko VM):

File.hx:5: characters 8-9 : Missing ;
File.hx:10: characters 4-5 : Unexpected }
File.hx:5: characters 8-9 : Unknown identifier : a

I'll try to implement this when I have some spare time.

@w0rp I've been working on it, does ale support line/col number ranges? I know lnum and col exist, but I have no idea how to specify ranges, as haxe compiler provides those instead of per-line errors.

You can use end_col to set the end column number, and end_lnum if you want to set an end line number too.

I added those to the documentation now.
