Replace gulp-serve with gulp-webserver for proxies

[stubbies]

As far as I know gulp-serve has no option for setting proxies which makes it complicated if your backend uses a different port and you run into CORS issues.
With gulp-webserver you can set proxies, what do you think?

Sorry for the slow response...

It sounds good to me! I haven't tried gulp-webserver myself but I'm willing to accept a PR which replaces gulp-serve :)

What about using gulp-connect to enable proxies? I have tried in my personal project with proxies.

https://github.com/reflexdemon/ng-gulp/blob/master/gulpfile.js#L24-L30
and
https://github.com/reflexdemon/ng-gulp/blob/master/gulpfile.js#L186-L200

I think I will open a PR for this with gulp-connect as soon as I find time.

@reflexdemon does it uses preflight request OPTIONS?

[reflexdemon]

Yes.
We can do that with headers I believe. Please checkout these lines to set headers.

@Errvald #44 has been opened for this. This the first time I am working on slush and JS. Please take liberty to test and let me know if out find any issues. I am coming from pure JAVA background and this is just my first try on the JS side of the world.

@reflexdemon livereload seems to be broken for me.

[reflexdemon]

My middleware server had issues when livereload was restarting. So I had disabled it with proxies. let me see, if I get a hack to fix this and keep you posted.

[reflexdemon]

@Errvald I got the livereload working on my project and will make the needed changes on the template and push it in couple of days.

Meanwhile here is a sample of working livereload.

#44 now has livereload
