split of mockup / plone.mockup

I refactored mockup today, so that the Python packaging related code is
in plone.mockup and mockup is installable via bower again. plone.mockup
is the new mockup integration package for Plone 5. It uses git
submodules to pull the mockup repository.

This is the story behind this change:

The mockup repository was restructured after the Plone conf in order to
be able to create eggs out of it. Therefore, all relevant content was
moved into the mockup sub directory. But since then, mockup couldn't be
properly installed via bower. Installing mockup with bower doesn't
install any of it's dependencies, because bower.json is not in the top
level directory. Moving bower.json, package.json, Gruntfile.js and
Makefile to the top level directory doesn't help much, because
mockup-core is expecting a specific directory layout and would have to
be patched in order to work with another directory layout. This was
actually my first attempt, but I gave it up because one error lead to
another.
Therefore I tried another path and created plone.mockup, which is a
Python package, which pulls mockup via the git submodules featue. I
know, git submodules are known to be nasty, but here it helps to solve
the issue of mockup not being a proper bower/npm package.

Why would I depend on mockup in another bower package? I want to create
a custom bundle for Plone 4, which includes the mockup widgets bundle
and some custom JavaScript for a client project.


I hope you're all O.K. with that.


Cheers, Johannes
