Bower bower.json files support

[mehlah]

Hello folks,

I'm looking for your thoughts before a PR.
At the moment, sprockets looks only for a bower.json file for Bower installed packages, but nothing guarantees that file always exists, for example, Dropzone. Also for non-registry packages there will be .bower.json, but no bower.json (in cache too).

Bower always creates a .bower.json file based on bower.json with some additional properties used internally.

Why not looking for a .bower.json instead of bower.json? Isn't safer?
Or maybe better, looking for all possible names based on Bower specs https://github.com/bower/json/blob/master/lib/json.js#L7

A discussion ont he subject bower/bower#1174

Any thoughts?

It tried supporting it at one time, 1664c41, but it was reverted since . files are ignored.

For now, I think dropzone should fix their bower.json to not ignore itself.
