It would be convenient for external scripting purposes to have a command in abra, suggest abra app info that would output some key information about an app, both as human readable and machine readable (e.g. as JSON and as a variable list) for use in external scripts.

The following information would be mighty useful:

server the app is deployed on
recipe
version
docker containers with their full names (maybe, or as part of an --extended listing)
docker volumes with their full names, possibly system paths (maybe, or as part of an --extend list)
docker secret names (maybe, or as part of an --extend list)
whether its currently running

I've had a few instances where I wanted to script something and I had to hard code this infromation in the script whereas it would've been better to be able to retrieve it this way.
