simplify frontend CSS build in Webpack

Warren Gifford requested to merge simplify-webpack-css-build into master

Created by: sqs

Previously, our Webpack build had a separate set of entrypoints for CSS (vs. TypeScript). It also had a hack to avoid a red-herring 404 in the devtools browser console when running Sourcegraph in local dev (which does not produce .css output files; it uses style-loader to inject styles via JavaScript so we get hot-reloading, ie instant feedback for CSS changes).

Now, it only has a single set of (TypeScript) entrypoints that, in turn, import the relevant CSS files. Also, the hack was removed in favor of not emitting a <link rel="stylesheet" ...> tag when running Sourcegraph in local dev.
