add gitbook document loader (#1180)

Added a GitBook document loader. It lets you both, (1) fetch text from
any single GitBook page, or (2) fetch all relative paths and return
their respective content in Documents.

I've modified the `scrape` method in the `WebBaseLoader` to accept
custom web paths if given, but happy to remove it and move that logic
into the `GitbookLoader` itself.
