Bower components

We moved bower_components to the project root, read this post if you're curious why. In order for that to work, we had to make some accommodations. If you've ever had struggles with it, this should clear things up.

Basically:

• paths in Sass @import directives should begin with bower_components
• paths in HTML should begin with /bower_components

Both paths will work regardless of the nesting level, e.g. they would work on a about/contact/index.html page too.

Details:

• we serve bower_components as if it is located in app
• we add the project root to Sass load path in order for @import "bower_components/..." directives to work
• we strip all the ../s from the beginning of bower_components paths
• we add the project root to gulp-useref's search path in order for the build step to work
