Create new blank template #1352

I recently had to fix this really amazing article which had its own unique styling and layout. The problem was that the custom html template referenced a thing we no longer have in the backend (dispatch template tags).

To allow for articles like this to be easier to make and less likely to break due to backend changes, I propose we create an "empty" template which only displays the content blocks with no other elements (title, author byline, suggested articles, ads, etc). Since these are for one off articles, any extra layout elements can be included through the raw_html content block.

We should also make a standard custom css file that goes with this template so that people using it can easily add to, remove from, and make changes to the styling.
