PERF: Trimming the scripts.js file

[designerbrent]

In reviewing the JS used across the system, I want to make sure we absolutely need everything that is getting included. I've summarized below, as best I can tell from the comments inline, what is in the files and the total file size. With the exception of head-scripts.js all the other files get compressed down to scripts.js.

Given all the details below, I'm interested in removing, or separating the following:

• Moment What is this doing for ALPS? What function does it provide?
• Modaal Are we using any modal dialog boxes in the system? I know we used them in V2, but I'm not aware of anything in V3 that would warrant keeping an extra 38kb around.

@kelscahill or @davideleuterius: Can you speak to these questions?

@designerbrent I've tried to use modaal.js from this bundle with no luck.

@kelscahill Is Moment used only for the Video Full pattern? https://alps.adventist.io/v3/?p=organisms-video-full

[kelscahill]

@designerbrent I did a search and couldn't find any instances in PL or Wordpress that is using .moment. I believe that script could be removed.

[designerbrent]

@kelscahill so if we should be able to remove .moment, Moment Duration Format, and Modaal?

[designerbrent]

@davideleuterius assuming what I wrote above is correct, you can go ahead and make a PR for this.

[kelscahill]

@designerbrent That's correct.
