Remove invalid bower.json (#24584)

[iamam34]

Fixes #24584 ("Could you please remove bower.json making it possible for those of us who haven't had time to switch away from Bower to still include Bootstrap (manually) in our projects").

The earlier PR to remove bower support is #23568.

I'm motivated to contribute as part of Hacktoberfest.

Awesome! :D

I think there was an assumption previously that this wouldn't cause errors for folks, and would instead provide an answer when folks go looking for the file. Hearing it's causing issues definitely means this is totally safe to merge for me.

How does one download BS4 using bower?

I tried : "bootstrap": "git://github.com/twbs/bootstrap.git#v4.0.0-beta.2" but got EMAILFORMED error as bower install. My json is valid.

Bower is no longer supported. Use Either Webpack or NPM
See https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/migration/ Under Beta 2 Changes.

@jgacuca567 thanks, I have been following all the changes since Alpha.3 :) I am well aware bower support was dropped in beta.2.

That wasn't my question. Bower should still allow you to download BS4 files manually using my above method, but its throwing me an error.

git+https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap should work

Still same error...

"bootstrap": "git+https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap#v4.0.0-beta.2",

There's no more Bower support. Use npm or Yarn, please.
