[erlang-questions] [ANN] rebar3_path_deps a plugin to specify path dependencies in rebar.config

[Benoit Chesneau]

Thanks!  To complete, as I was saying on slack I created this plugin with
the following goals in mind:

1) having a way to handle dependencies inside a mono repo, which means
something I can include and  build by profile or another subproject inside
of the mono repo. Something that `project_app_dirs` doesn't allow since all
apps inside these folders are built (different purpose)
2) have something as simple as you could find in cargo (the rust packager)

Ie. it's purpose is really for mono repos. I have updated the readme to
reflect its usage.

Other differences from `localdep` are:

- it doesn't use an environment variables to find the dependencies, the
dependencies are related to the rebar.config folder of the top project.
- On compilation it checks if the sources have changed and if not will not
rebuild the dependency.
Hope it will be useful.

Benoît
