Try porting to Phoenix

[marnen]

I think this might be a good application for me to learn Phoenix, especially now that I have some functionality already implemented in Rails. I tried this once before, at http://www.github.com/marnen/contraq-elixir, but at that time, I didn't have the functionality implemented, and it turned out that learning a new environment and simultaneously implementing an application was too much to do at once.

Phoenix has changed a good deal since my last attempt, so I think I'm going to start the port pretty much from scratch, though I'll use code from the older attempt as necessary.

• Get dev environment working
• Create a Phoenix application
• Get testing tools installed (white-bread and ESpec)
• Set up mix test.watch
• Reimplement functionality such that existing Gherkin features pass
• Fix up HTML to match what we already have
• Get Erlang observer/debugger working from within container (see Step-by-step description of how to run the observer on OS X erlang/docker-erlang-otp#41)
• Try Dialyzer/Dialyxir/Dialyzex
• Set up Distillery or something for packaging
• Set up Travis
• Make sure anything else that needs tweaking gets tweaked :)

I thought we'd need ex_machina for factories, but we may just be able to use Ecto.

https://github.com/batate/blacksmith also looks interesting for factories.
