ProtoREPL is no longer maintained; Tools / Atom should mention Chlorine instead

ProtoREPL hasn't been updated in over two years and I've seen several people report that ProtoREPL doesn't work properly with recent versions of Atom -- and specifically that the instructions on the Tools / Atom page don't work anymore.

This page https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript-site/blob/master/content/tools/atom.adoc should be updated to use https://github.com/mauricioszabo/atom-chlorine

Maybe @mauricioszabo can provide updated instructions for using Chlorine for ClojureScript for this page? Or perhaps this page should just point to the Chlorine package docs?

Happy to take a PR to clean this up since I really don't know that much about it.

Well, currently Chlorine will not work with Fighwheel, only Shadow-CLJS. I'll do a PR on how to use it with Shadow-CLJS and keep the info with Fighweel to Proto-REPL.

Then, as soon as Chlorine supports Figwheel, I'll update this document :)

@mauricioszabo At this point, even an Atom page is moot, right? Is Pulsar/Chlorine a viable option at this point, or would it be better for the ClojureScript site just to remove the atom.adoc page (and any links to it)?

Pulsar with Chlorine is a viable option - Pulsar is basically Atom with a newer Electron version. Parinfer, Paredit, and Chlorine all work flawlessly too - I've been using it daily, and haven't found any issues.
