(refactor) add static site build process

- This commit sets up a static site build process designed to eliminate the need for
  the front-end Django server. The build handles localization, Handlebars
  precompilation, and static asset management
- The following dev dependecies are introduced:
  - recursive-copy
  - js-yaml
  - node-gettext
  - gettext-parser
  - object-walk
  - handlebars
  - wax-on

Addresses: #655
