Provide EarthReader-Web GUI launcher for OS X using py2app.

To be released with EarthReader-Web 0.2.

Found out libsass fucks with distutils data_files, which py2app can't handle. So we can't just define aliases in setup.cfg and use python setup.py py2app command to build the app. Will need to look into cmdclass or write a separate OS X dist doc. Maybe patch libsass or py2app?

Patching py2app is less likely to be merged. Although it might be merged well, but it seems indeterminable. We should write a docs for building .app package first, or ideally it can be automated e.g. Makefile, simple bash script, and then if that py2app patch is merged we can integrate it.
