If we don't block on SDK builds, then the riot-web build fails due to half-built dependencies. This needs to be done at two levels: the js-sdk because it is used by both the react-sdk and riot-web, and at the react-sdk because riot-web needs it. This means our build process is synchronous for js -> react -> riot, at least for the initial build.
This does increase the startup time, particularly because the file watch timer is at 5 seconds. The timer is used to detect a storm of file changes in the underlying SDKs and give the build process some room to compile larger files if needed.
The file watcher is accompanied by a "canary signal file" to prevent the build-blocking script from unblocking too early. Both the js and react SDKs build when `npm install` is run, so we ensure that we only listen for the `npm start` build for each SDK.
This is all done at the riot level instead of at the individual SDK levels (where we could use a canary file to signal up the stack) because:
* babel (used by the js-sdk) doesn't really provide an "end up build" signal
* webpack is a bit of a nightmare to get it to behave at times
* this blocking approach is really only applicable to riot-web, although may be useful to some other projects.
Hopefully that all makes sense.
Following changes to the react-sdk, reskindex can now be updated using the "-w" (watch) equivalent of the reskindex script.
-Alter npm scripts so that reskindex is run when building once and so that reskindex:start is runwhen developing
-Remove and stop tracking component-index, this will now only be created at build-time
Improve dependency management for Electron main process deps
Dependencies in /electron/package.json will be installed through a script in /package.json and will be bundled via electron-builder
Does not affect standard webapp whatsoever

This means that clients can do better caching of assets, as it will mean we are
no longer reliant on etags to ensure that clients get a fresh version.
We inhibit the cachebuster for `npm start`, so that we don't get millions of
copies of the bundles on dev boxes.
