0.4.0 rebuild using `x-ignore`, API changes and support for dynamic content

[Accudio]

This is an issue to discuss and test the new 0.4.0 version of Async Alpine. The beta for the new version is on the 0.4-rebuild branch, with updated documentation in the README.

Install the new version from GitHub like so:

npm install -S accudio/async-alpine.git#0.4-rebuild

Changes

This version has significant breaking changes, be sure to review these before updating an existing project. Check out the updated README for more examples and information.

• Feature: Adds support for dynamically-added content, including client-side routing;
• Feature: Adds method to register components that handle their own downloads using .data('name', callback);
• Breaking change: Requires x-ignore attribute on all components;
• Breaking removal: Removes 'parent' strategy—now nested components can only initialise when their ancestors have;
• Breaking change: API to initialise and start has changed to be more similar to Alpine;
• Improvement: Significant size, speed and efficiency improvements;
• Improvement: Re-architecture makes the project easier, more understandable and more extensible I believe;

I would appreciate if anyone was able to help me with testing this, I've significantly expanded the project test suite but it consists of small, contrived examples so I would be keen to get any real-world testing that is possible beyond my own.

In the build of this I've encountered some new additions I would like to make in #11 and #7, but I'd like to get this through the door and put those into 0.5 shortly after this release. I would also like to add documentation for using Async Alpine with different platforms and build tools but again getting this released is my priority.

I've heard from a couple people that Client-Side-Routers aren't working correctly, at the very least Taxi.js and Swup.js

They don't initialise the component so it can be loaded manually which is a good sign, there must be an issue in the way they add markup which makes component detection unreliable.

[Accudio]

Fixed in latest commits:

• Relative component URLs when Async Alpine is loaded from a different origin than the page;
• Mutations not being picked up correctly causing some Client Side Routers to not initialise new components;

[Accudio]

Added:

• Ability to specify options object for script installation method with window.AsyncAlpineOptions object

Released 0.4.0 version, see the release notes for more info.

I'll be closing this issue, if you find any bugs or have any requests for this version file a new issue.
