Request to create new contrib: data.dependency

[Stuart Sierra]

As part of my long-delayed effort to get namespace dependency parsing into contrib, I offer the clojure.data.dependency library:

https://github.com/stuartsierra/data.dependency

This was originally part of Lazytest, and is wholly my own work. I, Stuart Sierra, give my permission to release this code under the Clojure Contributor Agreement.

This will complement the recent addition of `ns` parsing to tools.namespace:

Really glad to have this. Seems like tools.dependency might be a better name -- what do you think?

It's not a tool, just a data structure. It can represent any kind of dependency tree. But I'm not picky about the name.

The tool-ish part is in tools.namespace, to parse the dependencies out of an `ns` declaration.
