Description

Currently, the bundle has a lot of unused CSS from third-party libraries (buefy, bulma) and Vocabulary. To make sure that unused CSS is not packaged into the final build bundle, we remove it with the help of @fullhuman/postcss-purgecss plugin.

Technical details

This PR makes the CSS file ~4 times smaller:

File                                              Size        Gzipped
BEFORE dist\css\app.79796147.css            218.88 KiB      32.01 KiB
AFTER  dist\css\app.f2825e10.css             46.04 KiB       8.89 KiB

Some selectors are whitelisted in the postcss.config.js to make sure that the plugin does not remove necessary styles.
