Drop "{{.Site.BaseURL}}" from templates

Holdover from the original theme. All assets use a template variable that gets expanded with the actual site name. This isn't necessary and can just be linked with the root version instead.

For example:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{.Site.BaseURL}}css/screen.css" />

can become:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/screen.css" />

Here is a link to one file that is in violation:

hasper/layouts/partials/head_includes.html

Line 1 in 7f2f0cc

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="{{.Site.BaseURL}}images/favicon.ico">

I've revisited this and have decided my original intuition is not correct. The .Site.BaseURL parameter can be very helpful for users who use hugo for serving content from a specific location that isn't at the server root. A common example is http://mywebsite.com/blog.

Without using BaseURL the user would be forced to locate all resources (like css/js/etc.) at the root directory, but maybe they have an application running there and that has its own set of assets. If we use BaseURL we can encapsulate everything we need in the static site. Much better approach.

I will close this and open a new issue that does the opposite: makes sure that .Site.BaseURL is being used everywhere.
