Title: In Debug mode, use actual CSS source paths, rather than rename one-to-one

When using a live CSS editor like Expresso, it's critical that the actual CSS files are being referred to, so that @override works properly and the right files are edited on disk. So, in Debug mode, rather than output an one-to-one renamed asset, for each css input file we can just refer to the original files.

This patch may be a problem if the source CSS files are not accessible in the web tree, so possibly this could be controlled by an option other than assetic.debug (eg, assetic.debug.use_source_css).

Hope some version of this can be accepted, right now our CSS work is back to the old "edit file -> refresh" cycle, and the frontend guys are driving us nuts. ;)
