Only download keymap source #213

I'm not sure if it's due to technical limitations or what ..... but I feel that it's not intuitive or helpful to download the entire source from the configurator.

All we need is the keymap.c, rules.mk, and config.h from the keymap folder. Maybe the json, too.

That way, users can just dump their files into a full qmk_firmware repo, and build that.

The Ergodox EZ Configurator handles it this way (well, just the keymap.c), and it's easier. And a much smaller download.

Also, have you tried converting the contents of a zip to an actual local repo? It's a nightmare (I haven't figured it out yet)

There may be legal reasons why we can't do this due to the GPL. People that only let you download the keymap.c may actually be violating the GPL.

With new configurator version, this issue should now be resolved.
