gulp debug

[Jean-Baptiste-Lasselle]

make a documentation dedicated to gulp, and an entire chapter on how to debug gulp (and more generally nodejs apps) :

# this will launch a server : that server is a 
# debugging server, to which a "NodeJS Inspector Client" can connect to
node --inspect --inspect-brk $(which gulp) build:debug

to debug, the client must have access to source code text files, in order to manage debug stop points.

• see on develop branch, the documentation/gitpod/ folder's README.md for current work, not working yet
