Allow to integrate multiple gitlabs

[kaystrobach]

would be really awesome to change the code to allow access multiple gitlab instances.

IMHO there are several steps to take:

• convert settings file form ini to yaml
• iterate over instances and then repos to get the needed information
• put all the stuff into one file

The yaml file may look like:

m4tthumphrey:
  php-gitlab-api:
    instances:
      -
        apiToken: 'ASDFGHJKL12345678'
        endpointUri: 'http://gitlab.example.com/api/v3/'
      -
        apiToken: 'ASDFGHJKL12345678'
        endpointUri: 'http://gitlab.example.com/api/v3/'
      -
        apiToken: 'ASDFGHJKL12345678'
        endpointUri: 'http://gitlab.example.com/api/v3/'

yaml files can be read easily within PHP with http://php.net/manual/de/function.yaml-parse-file.php

I think the major conceptual issue would be in case of name collision (What to do if two packages in first and second Gitlab have the same name?).

I see two options:

• priority-based (the one in the second Gitlab will be ignored)
• prefix-based (either the one in the second Gitlab or both are prefixed).

To parse YAML, I think https://github.com/symfony/Yaml would be a better option.

[kaystrobach]

• symfony yaml internally uses the php parser if available ... but that's not important for me
• if there is a collision, then the first one wins, that's how it normally works ...

Same would happen, if you setup multiple instances of gitlab-composer with different gitlabs and use both into one composer.json :D

Sounds good to me. We will try to provide an implementation for this ASAP.
Of course, a PR is always welcome ;)
