HOT specification

Registered by Thomas Spatzier

This blueprint is to provide documentation (i.e. a formal specification including examples) for the new HOT DSL currently being implemented. It is suggested for this to be done in context of other documentation for the Heat project, which is maintained in the Heat code repository so there is some review and governance process on the specification (as opposed to using a wiki that anyone can edit).

For the first iteration, it is planned to provide documentation of those features that are already implemented (HOT hello world), plus features being implemented in parallel, so we have a clean documentation at the end of the current development cycle.
