[openstack-dev] [javascript] Linters

The more I think about this, the more I think my ideas are dumb.

John Papa has very opinionated guides on how an _angular_ application
should be structured. Openstack's linting must be framework agnostic,
because we can't predict which frameworks may or may not be used. For
example, there is a good case for a framework-agnostic API library for
[Insert API Here].

So, let's just start with the Google Style Guidelines, and let projects use
plugins (like eslint-angular) to support additional project guidelines.
