Lazy-load SimpleMDE dependency in MD card (reduces main bundle by 260KB)

no issue
- use broccoli-funnel to avoid polluting the `dist/` dir with unused build artefacts
- load codemirror and simplemde CSS up-front to avoid duplicate styles and specificity problems
- pull simplemde dependency out into a separate JS file and lazy-load in `{{gh-simplemde}}` component to reduce main bundle size. Before/after:
  - `vendor.min.js 3.58 MB (795.88 KB gzipped)`
  - `vendor.min.js 3.32 MB (710.66 KB gzipped)`
