Understrap: Don't deploy dev files to dist/

[Routhinator]

Currently this package deploys a lot of unwanted files in it's 'distribution'.

• gulpfile.js
• package.json
• README.md
• bower.json
• CHANGELOG.md
• sass/

They should be omitted when generating the dist/ folder.

Hi!
The dist task is used to pack up UnderStrap for the wordpress.org theme repo.
It just removes the /node_modules and /src folder and some minor stuff.

Especially because UnderStrap is more a dev framework or a starter theme for theme dev´s it should include anything to setup a dev enviroment. There are just a few ppl who use it "as-it-is".

I tried it without all this stuff some time ago. But received too much "where are the sass source files?" support requests.

And there are users who develop free or commercial themes out of UnderStrap. They also need a task which adds any resources needed to work with into there distribution to release it as product.
...
Hm, but it might be a good idea to have two differnt "dist" tasks.
One to create a shipable product (with dev resources), and one to deploy it to your server (without the resources)...

Okay, now there are two tasks:
https://github.com/holger1411/understrap/commit/a3b02f6743618dd62dadd58406ccf788e762ea39

gulp dist
creates a clean distribution without any dev stuff

gulp dist-product
creates a /dist-product folder with anything inside you need to release it as "product".
For example if you wanna offer it as theme download, publishing it on wordpress.org etc.
