minor bower tweaks

[minrk]

• adds fab components to fetch static components
• adds static/components to gitignore, so they don't get tracked

I want to ping @ellisonbg on this one as there are some component we do want to ship in the source tree to avoid yet-another-install-step. I think of codemirror, jquery taht can be install via bower.
We could make 2 dependencies folder, one in gitignore, not the other.

I think we want to ship just about everything in components, once we move to actually using bower, at which point gitignore should be changed. But right now, it's super annoying to have dozens of files that are supposed to be there that are not supposed to be tracked.

I think we should ship all of our components in the github repo (not as
submodules). The main reasons to use bower right now are:

• Make it easier for us to track which versions are installed and update
  them.
• Ease the job of packagers and people who want to use the IPython static
  resources in their own project
