Adding webpack-dev-server

[washingtonsoares]

Hey folks!

I really enjoyed this starter project and it helped me a lot when i was looking to start a project.

However I realized that it was possible to improve it in some points, among them:

• Using webpack-dev-server: With webpack-dev-server it is possible to have a greater integration with webpack, Besides being a server with a very simple configuration to serve the webpack bundles.

• Using Gulp only to generate new components: On Gulp I think it would only be necessary to generate new components, because the responsibles for generating the bundles would be webpack and the server for webpack-dev-server.

Also I have updated some dev dependencies, like the loaders and the webpack itself.

I believe that these changes will bring improvements and more users to this starter project and will certainly continue to help many devs who are starting a project!

Kindly look at this PR, and Come to me if you need anything to be adjusted.

Thanks!

Who else needs to review this in order to merge it? What are the next steps?

The only problem that I see with this PR is that it removes browser-sync. This is pretty useful tool for cross-device testing.

Also there was some stuff which could be improved in webpack configuration management.

@fesor is this PR good?

Could this plugin be used for browser-sync? I have never used it myself. https://www.npmjs.com/package/browser-sync-webpack-plugin
