It is useful to be able to disable the t-transition directive for testing purposes. This commit introduces a global config flag to do just that. closes #768

🦉 Config 🦉
The Owl framework is designed to work in many situations. However, it is
sometimes necessary to customize some behaviour. This is done by using the
global config object. It provides two settings:
mode(default value:prod),enableTransitions(default value:true).
Mode
By default, Owl is in production mode, this means that it will try to do its
job fast, and skip some expensive operations. However, it is sometimes necessary
to have better information on what is going on, this is the purpose
of the dev mode.
Owl has a mode flag, in owl.config.mode. Its default value is prod, but
it can be set to dev:
owl.config.mode = "dev";
Note that templates compiled with the prod settings will not be recompiled.
So, changing this setting is best done at startup.
An important job done by the dev mode is to validate props for each component
creation and update. Also, extra props will cause an error.
enableTransitions
Transitions are usually nice, but they can cause issues in some specific cases, such as automated tests. It is uncomfortable having to wait for a transition to end before moving to the next step.
To solve this issue, Owl can be configured to ignore the t-transition directive.
To do that, one only needs to set the enableTransitions flag to false:
owl.config.enableTransitions = false;
Note that it suffers from the same drawback as the "dev" mode: all compiled templates, if any, will keep their current behaviours.
