7.0.0: Configurable collections and Day.js

Changes

See #17

• The posts collection no longer has any special hardcoded behaviour. Instead it's just another collection.
  • Pages now receive a collections prop instead of a posts prop
  • The collection used to generate the JSON feed is configured in package.json with tropical.feedCollection
• Collection sorting now uses Day.js under the hood. It's a dependency so it can be used for all your date and time needs.
