1089656 - Move credits.html outside of include.js

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Marketplace Graveyard :: Consumer Pages, defect, P4)

Description

[Mathieu Pillard [:mat]]

credits.html is 16K of just names and links. We should either:
- Load the whole template from the network, not serve it from fireplace
or
- Load the list using an API, keeping the template extra-small in fireplace

This would reduce the size of include.js, improving performance.

Note: The list of names/links is generated via script[1] from github. This could be moved to the backend or other and run periodically to keep it up to date.

I removed it entirely for now as it doesn't seem like an important page nor are we linking to it from anywhere at the moment: https://github.com/mozilla/fireplace/commit/1e6c94963840f2ee20569b4a59ec552d53cb0bd2

+ I don't think anyone has time to make an endpoint out of it.
