Components can be used to represent endpoints:
```go
Container("Web Application", "Delivers content to users.", func() {
Component("Dashboard Endpoint", "Serve dashboard content.", func() {
Tag("endpoint")
})
Uses("Application Database", "Reads from and writes to", "MySQL", Synchronous)
})
```
`Uses` can target the endpoint alleviating the need for `Calls`:
```go
Container("Load Balancer", "Distributes requests across the Web Application instances.", func() {
Uses("Web Application/Dashboard Endpoint", "Routes requests to", "HTTPS", Synchronous)
})
```
Reverse engineering the DSL from the JSON isn't practical...

Closing this PR as the approach consisting of reverse engineering the JSON into DSL has too many limitations. |

This PR adds the ability for model to generate the Go DSL for a given JSON representation of a model.
This makes it possible to roundtrip JSON code generation from and to the DSL.
UIs can take advantage of this functionality to allow for changes made either in the DSL or directly to the JSON.
