Subject: [PATCH] Add optional_applications to .app resource files

Both Mix and Rebar allow some applications to be absent
at runtime - sometimes also known as optional dependencies.

However, given optional applications are not stored in .app
resource files, releases do not consider optional applications
in its boot order, leaving it up to chance if an optional app
will be started before its parent.

Users can try to explicitly list optional applications on their
release definition files, but given the order is not enforced,
this manual specification may be reordered when new apps are
added, leaving developers with broken releases.

This PR introduces the "optional_applications" field to .app
resource files. If an application is listed on both "applications"
and "optional_applications", it will be attempted to be started
before its parent but the parent won't fail to start in case it
is missing:

If application "b" is an optional application for application "a",
and application "b" is missing, "application:start(a)" will still
succeed.

If application "b" is an optional application for application "a",
and application "b" is available, "application:ensure_all_started(a)"
will automatically start application "b" before "a".

systools and reltool have also been modified to consider
optional_applications.
