Add basic style support for Easy Digital Downloads

[cdils]

At last look, no Genesis child themes explicitly offered support for EDD. I'd like to consider adding styles (and possibly templates) for product archives and single product views.

I've thought in the past about adding WooCommerce styles as well. Perhaps both EDD and Woo styles would make more sense as complimentary plugins versus baked into Utility Pro.

Thoughts?

I was just thinking of this as I was looking at the EDD site the other day! It could be a gold mine for theme sales and possibly get added to the EDD theme page?

This is an excellent idea.

I'm thinking to include a .scss stylesheet for EDD in the /scss/partials/ directory. When compiled for distribution, that file should be excluded from style.css and instead compiled off the root directory to /edd_templates/edd.css per these instructions of how to include custom styles for EDD.

@GaryJones I know this will require some modifications to the Gulp file. Do you see any problems with the approach I'm suggesting?

[GaryJones]

Go for it.

@GaryJones It is unclear to me how to configure (extend?) gulp-wp-toolkit to compile a partial into a different file. I pinged @craigsimps a day ago in Slack, but haven't had a response.

We'll need to tweak how the internals of gulp-wp-toolkit works: craigsimps/gulp-wp-toolkit#41

Thanks @GaryJones. While I like gulp-wp-toolkit generally, I'm getting nervous about relying on a 3rd party library that doesn't currently offer full support for what UP needs. The only hold up getting this theme to market should be me. :)
