The CSS is now served as an external file instead of being injected.
This was done to improve performance. Ideally we would come to a middle
ground between this and the former behaviour by injecting only the CSS
that was required for the initial page load, then lazily loading the
rest. However that change would be more complex. The hope was that
making all CSS external would at least be a slight improvement.
Performance metrics were collected before and after this change to
determine whether this change actually helped. The metrics collected
were the timing events provided by Chrome DevTools:
* DOM Content Loaded (DCL) [1]
* Load (L) [2]
* First Paint (FP) [3]
* First Contentful Paint (FCP) [3]
* First Meaningful Paint (FMP) [3]
Here are the results (units in milliseconds):

Unfortunately, using an external CSS file made no discernible improvement
to the overall page load time. DCM and L were practically identical, and
FCP and FMP were marginally better (well within error margins).
However, the first paint time was _dramatically_ improved. This change
seems worthwhile for the first paint time improvement alone. It also
allows us to delete some code and remove a dependency.
The old `css.js` module included two third-party CSS files as well, so
those have been imported into the main Sass file. This was easier than
bundling them in the gulpfile.
The resulting CSS bundle needs to be served from the root because we're
using a few `@include` rules that make this assumption. We could move
this under `/css/` if desired, but we'd need to update each of these
`@include` rules.

When starting up, we now create a `web3` inside the `background.js` process, which we pass to the `idStore` and ask for the current `network`.
We include the `network` on `app.metamask.network` in the state object.
We re-request the network when changing provider.
We filter the transaction list for transactions that match the current network.
