Zen's .info and settings need to be migrated to YAML

Here's a patch including the starter kit. At this point, you can enable Zen as the default theme, but it's not themed.

@mkostrzewa thanks for your checks! I fixed the typos, but I'd appreciate if someone with more understanding worked on the documentation and the D8 changes. I'm wondering if we should make another issue for documentation, to be completed when work on Zen for Drupal 8 is closer to done, and we have a better idea of what needs to be documented?

@jamessw you're welcome. I added some comments to your latest patch. @JohnAlbin, should we add a ticket for documentation?

Patch forthcoming.

I have Zen core working on my local, but have not updating the STARTERKIT YAML files yet.

Note: I removed panels (it's not ready for D8) and registry rebuild (in core now, yay!) from the settings. Will open separate tickets about that.

Hi @kmonty, is that patch ready for review or are you adding another patch?
