Integrating npm front-end with Kallithea

To me it is not so much about being python only but rather avoid the chaos 
node and npm actually is.
Being forced to use node makes packaging for distributions harder and thus 
deployment too. Furthermore, Kallithea aims to be core infrastructure for 
environments that value the code they write. Thus, people using Kallithea may 
prefer to not use throw-away stuff like docker or node to run their core 
infrastructure.
