Structure folders and files

• .cache webpack cache directory and post map json from gulp map
• source all page assets and markdowns (ex: source/about.md -> http://example.com/about)
• public all static assets (no markdown should be processed)

• src-posts source markdown post
• source/_posts auto generated post from src-posts using sbg post copy

  all generated html should be processed with gulp build-html later
