[aerogear-dev] ES6 modules -> ES5 microlib in AeroGear.js 2.1

[Lukáš Fryč]

modules branch work with the build's features as rich as the previous build:

https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-js/pull/154

After some minor fixes and spring-cleaning we are ready to go, so please
test and comment now if you have any concerns. :-)
