Add support for view-templates

Allow views to also be configured via templates similar to
job-templates.

This adds a new project key called "views" and parser type called
"view-template" allowing the user to add custom views.

Example:

- view-template:
    name: '{name}-template-{seq}'
    description: 'testing view templates feature'
    view-type: list
    regex: 'test-view-.*'

- project:
    name: 'test-view'
    views:
        - '{name}-template-{seq}'
    seq:
        - a
        - b
        - c

+Allow views to also be configured via templates similar to job-templates. This
+is useful when you have multiple views defined that have similar configuration
+except for a few variables. View Templates can be passed variables to fill in
+sections automatically via a project configuration using the new 'views' key.
