A new (simpler) build process for the textbook

[Chris Holdgraf]

Hey all - I just worked with @yuvipanda to remove a few unnecessary steps from the build process for updating the data-8 textbook. Here are the new instructions

https://github.com/data-8/textbook#how-this-repository-is-deployed-to-inferentialthinkingcom

Here's the summary:

• Old way

  • Make changes in data-8/textbook and build the site
  • Push to data-8/textbook
  • cd into your local repository for github.com/interentialthinking/inferentialthinking.github.io
  • git pull the latest changes from the textbook repository
  • git push the changes to the inferentialthinking.github.io repository

• New way

  • Make changes in data-8/textbook and build the site
  • Push to data-8/textbook
  • Changes are auto-deployed by circleci to the inferentialthinking.github.io repository.

Let me know if you have questions or thoughts! cc @davidwagner @a-adhikari @papajohn so you know about the new system.

This should close the issues in #82 and #83. I'll leave this issue open for a couple weeks and will then close all of them unless we surface other problems

@choldgraf awesome! Would love to have a writeup of the process so others using jupyter book can also set this up easily.
