[#606] Convert codebase to external modules (#734)

Closes #606, Closes #733, Closes #717 

## Changes:

- Changed internal Excalibur code into modules (ES6 style)
- Excalibur uses UMD module style for distribution (supports CommonJS, AMD, and window global)
- Bundled AMD modules using Almond.js micro loader
- Added two declaration files to dist, `excalibur.d.ts` and `excalibur.amd.d.ts`
- Added AMD bundle to distribution `excalibur.amd.js`
- Added inlined source maps for browser debugging
- Cleaned up Gruntfile and various compilation tasks
