Improvements to generate.py

Duncan Macleod requested to merge duncanmmacleod/metapackages:conda-style-selectors into master

This MR implements some improvements to generate.py, which simplify the spec for the metapackage YAML files.

  1. The following keys have been renamed to be more intuitive:

    Old name New name
    desc_short summary
    desc_long description
    package_name name

  2. The code was restructured in a few places to make it more modular, and easier to maintain

  3. Support for conda-style selectors was implemented (closes #38 (closed)) to simplify specifying distribution-specific dependencies, tests, etc

    With this implementation, the YAML file is reparsed for each distribution, using the select_lines helper from conda-build, so duplicate keys are technically allowed (e.g. one per distribution), but I have a hunch that yamllint would complain loudly in that situation.
