Title: Add tools to help users setup a brackets dev environment

*** **Depends on adobe/brackets-shell#104** ***

Add a new `tools` directory with 2 new tools:

1. **setup_for_hacking.sh/.bat** - Run this tool to install shortcuts into your brackets app that make brackets use the HTML/CSS/JS files pulled from the GitHub repo.
2. **restore_installed_build.sh/.bat** - Removes the shortcuts installed by the first tool.

Here are the steps to setup Brackets for hacking (this applies to hacking on HTML/CSS/JS files only, and does not apply to hacking on brackets-shell).

* Install the latest version of Brackets
* Clone (or fork) the brackets github repo
* On the Mac, run `tools/setup_for_hacking.sh` and pass the full path to Brackets.app. For example:
```
> tools/setup_for_hacking.sh "/Applications/Brackets Sprint 14.app"
```
* On Windows, run `tools\setup_for_hacking.bat` and pass the directory that holds Brackets.exe. For example:
```
> tools\setup_for_hacking.bat "\Program Files (x86)\Brackets\"
```

To restore Brackets back to the installed HTML/CSS/JS files, run the `restore_installed_build` script, passing the same value that was passed to `setup_for_hacking`.
