* Introduce &amp;#39;foreground&amp;#39; mode

In rebar the &amp;#39;foreground&amp;#39; mode is usually used when the erlang app is
running as a daemon within a supervising service such as systemd or
upstart. To work correctly within those services some flags for &amp;#39;erl&amp;#39;
are necessary so that for example unix pipelines can be used. This
patch introduces the &amp;#39;foreground&amp;#39; mode as known from rebar which is
very similar to live/console but sets the following additional flags:

    -noshell -noinput +Bd

Those are documented at:

    http://erlang.org/doc/man/erl.html

The very same flags are also used in relx and distillery:

It should definitely be thought about adjusting the systemd unit file so
that &#39;foreground&#39; is used instead of &#39;start&#39;. Otherwise the beam process
is not considered as main PID and when the beam is killed you are not
notified properly via the standard systemd tooling (e.g. &#39;systemctl
status&#39; returns 0).

* Add some basic documentation for &#39;foreground' mode

* Mention new 'foreground' mode in list of commands
