Easy start, stop, and logging of Magnolia

Its clunky to start and stop the magnolia server. mgnl makes it easy to download and install, but starting the server is a more complicated step.

It should be easy to start, stop and log, on windows, osx and linux.
For example, something like "mgnl start" should start the nearest server in a new terminal window/tab with logging.

How this is handled exactly must be researched.

A new sub-command start has been made available. By default it will

Start up Magnolia and display the logs. Magnolia CLI looks in the current working directory or parent directories for the nearest folder starting with "apache-folder".

To stop magnolia and tail, one needs to enter CTRL+C which will try to stop Magnolia gracefully with the magnolia_control.* stop script.
