Add a cli

[marcoscaceres]

Maybe we want a separate project for this (-cli) that allows for validation from the command line.

webidl --validate some.webidl

This would be great for CI, to allow Bikeshed document's to be checked for errors (the WebIDL parse/processor in Bikeshed is a bit limited).

Sounds good, but I don't think .webidl works for bikeshed? Does it support extracting idls to separate files?

[marcoscaceres]

yeah, we would need to extract the IDL by some other means (i.e., this would be spec-writing tool agnostic). But that's fine.

https://github.com/w3c/reffy/blob/master/src/cli/extract-webidl.js is a tool that extract IDL fragments from specs independently of their authoring tool

Sounds like it could be useful to have that logic here, probably in a separate package.
