Allow requiring non-JS dependencies to work on the server. Example: require('./foo.css')

[patrick-steele-idem]

Given the following code:

require('./foo.css');

If Node.js executes the above line then it will throw an error because it will try to load the ./foo.css as a JavaScript module when it really just CSS code. The reason for including require('./foo.css') in the JavaScript code is allow the ./foo.css dependency to be discovered via static code analysis by the Lasso.js tool and automatically bundled with all of the other require CSS code. On the server (and in the browser) the actual require should be a no-op.
