    This adds a new -w, --write option to the evolve command for writing
    hinted evolutions to disk. This makes it easier to generate new
    evolution files, and will help with some of the future
    evolution+migrations work (which will need to output migration files).
    
    The contents of the hinted evolutions slightly improved, in that they
    now include unicode_literals by default and have a trailing comma on the
    last mutation.
    
    There's also a few new utility functions for working with app
    information and evolutions module paths, which some existing code has
    been updated to use.

    Generated some hinted evolutions and wrote them to disk. Verified that
    each app with modifications had an evolution with the given name.
    Compared this to the printed output and saw that the output was the
    same, minus the dividers showing the app label (which is used in the
    printed output for differentiating evolutions for different apps).

    Tested that calling this without --hint results in an error.
