a363f85d33 core: for elpa dir, replace branch name by a variable set in .lock
New variable configuration-layer-elpa-subdirectory set in .lock file.
Now users creating a branch based on develop or master won't reinstall
all the packages in a new elpa directory.

8a5771559e core: change scope of elpa stable variables
make them public when they are used outside of core-configuration-layer.el
make them private when they are used only on this file.

65d5e42b8e core: add support for stable ELPA repository hosted on GitHub
Use the official spacelpa ELPA repository.
address: https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacelpa

ELPA repository configuration is now in a file called .lock at the root of the
git repository. Its goal is to setup the ELPA repositories for a given branch
and it should not be modified! The philosophy of Spacemacs is to never fork the
git repository and this lock file has been put in the repo on purpose.

Only the master branch will have a .lock file that points to spacelpa, the
develop branch won't use the stable ELPA repository and will continue to behave
like it always did.

BUT for testing purpose and until the first major version of Spacemacs that uses
the stable ELPA repo is released I push a .lock file to develop branch that
points to spacelpa.

I understand that some people can be annoyed by this so the variable
configuration-layer--elpa-archives can be overriden by putting a setq in your
dotfile in the user-init function like this:

  (setq configuration-layer--elpa-archives
        '(("melpa"    . "melpa.org/packages/")
          ("org"      . "orgmode.org/elpa/")
          ("gnu"      . "elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))
