Subject: [PATCH] Remove package.json dependencies during build

The kibana app itself requires that package.json exist, so removing it
entirely from distributions is a no go. Instead, we remove only the
dependencies themselves from the package.json so people do not try to
reinstall dependencies on an official distribution.
