Framework-level components for Open MCT Web. This is Angular and Require,
with an extra layer to mediate between them and act as an extension
mechanism to allow plug-ins to be introduced declaratively.

or the name of the source folder; these will be pre-pended by the framework
during this stage. The implementation name should include a `.js` extension.
Bundles may utilize third-party libraries, and may wish to expose these such
that other bundles may use them. Require JS may need special configuration
to recognize and utilize third-party libraries, and when exposing a
third-party library it may be desirable to do so under a short name
(to avoid long relative paths.) Such configuration is performed during the
resolution stage, immediately before implementations are loaded. Any
`configuration` properties from a bundle's definition (`bundle.json`) will
be used to perform this configuration; these `configuration` should take
the same form as needed to populate a
[`require.config`](http://requirejs.org/docs/api.html#config) call.
At present, only `shim` and `paths` options are supported; any `paths` will
be prepended with the bundle's library path (the bundle's `lib` folder, by
default; this directory name can be overridden by specifying a `libraries`
property in `bundles.json`.)
An extension is resolved by loading its implementing script, if one has been
declared. If none is declared, the extension's raw definition is used
instead. To ensure that extensions look similar regardless of whether or
