Support for nested applications

[buggy]

Standard sam build seems to have pretty bad support for nested applications. It would be really good if this plugin could build all of the stacks at once.

I have almost gotten this to work, using the experimental project option.

It currently outputs each stack into its respective build folder, which I then have to manually combine. But I think that could be solved by output.path.

I ended up writing my own plugin, heavily inspired by yours.
Here's a gist

But I got it working, specifically for our use case, which is Node-only functions, only one depth of nested stacks (this breaks after second recursion), all of which are local, and organized in a specific folder structure.

It's also incredibly hacky when it comes to file paths and such. But it works™

@aksel Thanks for posting the link to the gist. Nested stacks will be coming shortly. I have a reasonable urgent need for them myself. I just need to find a chunk of time that I can dedicate to fixing all of the related issues.

Hi @buggy how did you go with the nested stacks? I've been using your plugin and it works great, but recently split my cloud formation file into nested stacks as it was becoming too big to wrap my head around. I noticed that its sitting in the next milestone.
