Add build process

dist folder? On .gitignore?

I like 'build' over dist, not versioned. Or not?

Ok I will go for build

I like the idea to have a configuration file for the build process. This is the polymer.json configuration file for the polymer-cli, as example:

{
  "entrypoint": "index.html",
  "shell": "src/shell-app.html",
  "fragments": [
    "src/dashboard-view.html",
    "src/status-view.html"
  ],
  "sources": [
    "src/**/*",
    "static/**/*",
    "bower.json"
  ],
  "extraDependencies": [
    "manifest.json",
    "bower_components/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-lite.min.js",
    "bower_components/clab-ui-components/_assets/css/contactlab-pattern.css",
    "bower_components/clab-ui-components/_assets/fonts/**/*",
    "bower_components/ikonograph/dist/ikonograph.min.css",
    "bower_components/ikonograph/fonts/*"
  ]
}

I'm thinking about using the polymer-cli for our build. Polymer 2 is strictly related to the polymer-cli so I think we can go for it.

Anyway we need to rethink about the use of webpack 'cause the nature of Polymer 2. As we know the Polymer Slack is a mess right now. Just wait the next week, I think they will release another RC. By the way could be a great opportunity to come back to the "origin" of the frontend development: less tools, more code 🗡

Another awesome thing could be the customization of the polymer-cli itself.

We need to get rid of webpack. I'm thinking about some solution but the main could be remove webpack and start using the Polymer's tools withing PostCSS and maybe a server-side-like rendering.
