Local Development Plugin

• Automatically adds plugins and themes under version control.
• Automatically allows for using a local file server.

• Add a warning color to admin bar when running under localhost. Default is on.
• Add a git host icon to the plugins page. Default is off. No option if GitHub Updater is running.
• Allows setting of WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE in wp-config.php.

Pull Requests are welcome against the develop branch on GitHub.
