Minify (or at least concatenate) JS sources before deployment #20

Different PRs use base.js plus different JS modules: jQuery, markdown-it, CryptoJS… Concatenate all JS sources into a single file before releasing the new design, to save HTTP requests.

Minifying before deployment sounds OK; concatenation seems no longer necessary or recommended with HTTP/2 according to this presentation:

Interesting presentation, @gosko. Thanks! About minifying, some people at W3C dislike it; see it as bad practice… So maybe nothing to do here, after all :)
