osjs-2.0.0-86

An early release again. This time "dist-dev" has been removed entirely.

You can use "osjs watch" to automatically build changes. Use the "--debug"
flag on "build" and "run" task(s) to enable full debugging (and to disable
some caching, etc.)

This does not change or break anything, but if you used "dist-dev" in a
webserver configuration or a script (etc), you'll have to make some updates.

These changes brings a good speed improvement to the client (especially
loading times), reduces a lot of complexity in the build system and makes
things less confusing.

The "boot" code has now also moved to the index.html, wich is contained
within the dist template(s). So if you use a custom one, you'll have to
add a small snippet in the bottom of your file(s)
