In HTML5 <script> type is optional

In HTML5 the type attribute is optional on the script tag, but required for HTML 4. It think it would be nice to not use the atttribute by default but rather have a configurable property, eg: useTypeAttribute (Boolean).

var js = pile.createJSManager({ useTypeAttribute: true }); // default: false

since HTML5 was made to be mostly backward compatible, just an extra type="text/javascript" won't change much. but currently there are other use cases for this, like angular templates that use type="text/ng-template", that might get along with this change

implemented as scriptType option on JS Manager, defaults to 'text/javascript'
