Dotfile changes evaluation without restart, new layers, tweaks and fixes

Important note: The dotfile format has changed

• the configuration layer variables have been moved to a new function dotspacemacs/layers
• the other dotspacemacs variables have been moved to the function dotspacemacs/init
• the local variable ;; -*- mode: emacs-lisp -*- has to be changed for ;; -*- mode: dotspacemacs -*-

The old format is still compatible with 0.64.0 but it is strongly recommended to update your dotfile, see the .spacemacs.template file for reference.

Hot new feature

It is now possible to apply the changes made to the dotfile with SPC m c c without restarting spacemacs. Be sure to at least update the local variable of your dotfile (as mentioned in the important note above) to make it work. See documentation for more info.
