.htaccess: Serve WebVTT files as `text/vtt` with UTF-8 encoding
Create stubbed `console` methods

Remove the previous `log()` wrapper method as it changed the reported
line position in logs. Instead, avoid `console` errors in browsers
without `console` by setting its methods to empty functions.

update modernizr to 2.6.1. fixes #1146. ref #1086
Remove superfluous code comments

Reduce the perceived complexity and verbosity of certain files by
stripping unneccessary inline comments.

Relevant documentation may end up in a `doc/` directory such that any
download has an accurate and matching code documentation bundle.

Remove uncompressed jQuery

Not referenced anywhere else in the project and is unlikely to ever get
used since the CDN version of jQuery is used by default.

Fix gh-1153
Rewrite documentation and add to repo

Include all documentation related to the project and its code. This
ensures that docs are available offline and that any future download
will have docs that relevant for the version in use.

This change involves a documentation rewrite to update, simplify,
clarify, and consolidate it.
Add CHANGELOG

Keep the project history available within the repo; make it easier to
track what is currently changed over the last tagged release.
Clean up .gitignore

Remove all the ignores from `.gitignore`. The default boilerplate
doesn't generate any project-specific files that need to be ignored. All
OS and Editor-generated files should be globally ignored rather than
polluting the local project ignores.

Further information on using git ignore's appropriately can be found in
the miscellaneous part of the bundled docs.
Add MIT license

Provide a proper, highly permission license, recognized by the OSI, to
remove any potential for ambiguity. Addresses concerns around the
inability to elect to place work in the Public Domain.

Separate normalize.css from main.css

Benefits of disentangling  normalize.css from the rest of the project's
CSS:

* Easier to track normalize.css version.
* Easier to update normalize.css.
* Easier to remove normalize.css if the user wants.
* Clearer distinction between normalizing CSS and the additions that
  HTML5 Boilerplate provides.

Drawback is the additional HTTP request incurred from the extra
stylesheet referenced in the HTML. However, we already do something
similar for the JS, and anyone serious about performance is going to
employ a build process to concatenate and minify CSS/JS.
