Make TimelineJS3 functional without a web connection #30

Requested in https://knightlab.zendesk.com/entries/39132336-hosting-timeline-offline- and it has come up otherwise.

With no baseline dependency on jQuery, it seems possible. Handling fonts correctly would be complicated, and of course, people would have to specify media carefully.

Note that it is still necessary to run a local webserver, even without a web connection, if Timeline config data is loaded from an AJAX call. I don't think we'll prioritize making it run without a local webserver, because a lot of things will probably break. But if people find minor issues that we can tweak to continue to facilitate running the Timeline without an internet connection, I'm game to try to support it.

In fact, it's not entirely clear that it doesn't work. We may be able to close this ticket just with some testing or reports from the field.

Running resources in a local browser seems like a valid workaround here. I am voting for wontfix
