Ribs: Kotlin RIB templates

[oronbz]

Hi,
Are Kotlin templates in the making? Is this something you thought of, or decided to discard?

[AttwellBrian]

No reason not to have kotlin templates.

I haven't built kotlin templates because we don't use kotlin in production apps. Kotlin slows build performance in highly modular apps (going from a 12second incremental build time to minutes in one of our apps). But I'd be happy to take a PR that adds kotlin templates.

Sounds good, I'll try to work something out (:

Sample project using Kotlin, but no templates yet. :(

To elaborate a bit on @AttwellBrian's comment - the problem for us is buck's lack of tooling for kotlin. We don't have any metrics on kotlin's incremental compilation in a gradle project though

Created an initial version of Kotlin templates.

I'm not sure if I should create a PR for this though. :)
