Added grunt-browser-sync

If interested, I added grunt-browser-sync to FoundationPress. To use, just open the Gruntfile and fill in the host in the proxy field of the browser-sync task. Running the default task will start the browser-sync and watch tasks.

Thanks for good input. My concern is that people who are not already using browser-sync will find it difficult to get started. I envision a storm of issues around proxies, ports etc. It is nevertheless possible to use standalone plugins such as LiveReload for Chrome, which does not require manual setup and grunt tasks.

I hear you. The manual install is pretty simple 1 step process though. If you already have a local WP install running you just plug in the address you use to visit the local site into the proxy field and it should work out of the box. Adding browser-sync does not interfere with LiveReload. They can co-exist. There are many things browser-sync does that LiveReload does not, so why not offer both?

I added a new commit that took browser-sync off of the default grunt task and gave it its own "browser-sync" grunt task which runs browser-sync and then the watch task. Figured it would be better not to force it on people since LiveReload has been implemented already.

The main downside I see is that it adds an npm dependency.
