Make sure importing source files is possible

[eltonmesquita]

We should make sure that it's possible to import individual source files directly from the node_modules so developers won't need to resort to custom builds which are very annoying to maintain and not very practical these days.

I think we should check/add support for at least:

• [ ] Webpack
• [ ] Rollup
• [ ] Parcel

Have a look at #1307 for more context.

This might not need a PR. The main task is to verify if it's possible today and if any change is required on our side, then putting a PR together with the fix will be the way to go.

Just a reminder that it already works when importing the main files in the root of the project, we just need to be sure that importing the source files, in the source directory, work properly in these main bundlers.

I've tried it out with webpack and css-loader and it worked just fine. It's just a bit weird to use as you have to point to the whole path for the file for it to work. Like this:

import "animate.css/source/attention_seekers/bounce.css";
import "animate.css/source/animate.css";

It's not very practical. I'm not sure if we can provide a better way to use it without using some js, which I'm open to. Maybe an index.js file exporting all the CSS files could work?
