Delete and gitignore the `dist` folder #92

The inform7 and web folders are currently checked in as build output. That's weird, and git keeps flagging all of those files as modified whenever I switch branches.

Instead, they should be distributed via Github as Releases (like Lectrote), and the checked-in files should be marked with .gitignore.

(I would even recommend rewriting history to remove pasts releases from history, submitting historical releases as Releases on Github; Parchment's .git folder is 79MB; it should be 10% that size or less.)

I'm using Github Pages. Using Releases wouldn't allow for instant updates.

Probably most of the .git size is from the old-master branch. If you clone --single-branch then that would be smaller.

Though I guess it could be published through another branch... it's not as simple though. I'll have a think.
