Compiled Archives

[dselman]

To support efficient execution of Cicero archives it is useful to be able to pre-compile them to a target runtime offline/once.

Also see: #258

This metadata field can then be used by the Template.fromArchive and Template.fromDirectory code to either reject loading the archive, or to specialise the handling of the resources within the archive.

The proposed format is:

"accordproject": {
        "template": "contract",
        "ergo": "0.7.3",
        "cicero": "^0.11.1"
        "runtime": "cicero"
    },

Great idea. Note that we could consider removing the language tag in the package.json after that, since it would always be Ergo.
