Expose bladeCompiler in blade.php to make extending blade easier and more future-proof

[JoshMoreno]

In blade.php the BladeCompiler is now exposed as $bladeCompiler;

An example of registering a component alias:

blade.php

/** @var \Illuminate\View\Compilers\BladeCompiler $bladeCompiler */
$bladeCompiler->component('_components.title');

// extend more
$bladeCompiler->include(...);
$bladeCompiler->directive(...);

// make sure you still return an array!
return [
    // custom directives... 
    // Same thing as calling $bladeCompiler->directive(...) above
];

index.blade.php

{{--before--}}
@component('_components.title')
    Title 1
@endcomponent

{{--after--}}
@title
    Title 2
@endtitle

Just made it optional to return an array from blade.php. Now you can still return an array of custom directives and/or simply interact with $bladeCompiler yourself.

So just to be clear, from the example above, returning an array is now optional:

/** @var \Illuminate\View\Compilers\BladeCompiler $bladeCompiler */
$bladeCompiler->component('_components.title');

// extend more
$bladeCompiler->include(...);
$bladeCompiler->directive(...);

-// make sure you still return an array!
-return [
-    // custom directives... 
-    // Same thing as calling $bladeCompiler->directive(...) above
-];

This is awesome, can't wait to use it! Thanks Josh!

I think we can ditch the init static function, and just new the class up here directly.

@JoshMoreno Thanks! I've suggested one change, and then we can merge this in.

[JoshMoreno]

@damiani Sure thing. Removed.

@damiani Thanks for merging! Really enjoying jigsaw.
