Using Bootstrap from CDN requires an exact version number that is not tied to gem releases. Although historically `Bootstrap::VERSION` has mirrored the official Bootstrap version number, this might not always be the case. Therefore, this patch adds `Bootstrap::VENDOR_VERSION`, which is updated by the updater task. Additionally, it is best practice to employ subresource integrity hashes when using any public CDN. To support this, this patch adds `Bootstrap::VENDOR_INTEGRITY`, which is a Hash mapping asset names to their properly-encoded integrity hashes. This Hash is also updated by the updater task.

It would be nice to wrap that up in a helper method like
<%= Bootstrap.js_cdn_tag(bundle: true) %>, but I wasn't sure if that would be considered outside the scope of this gem. It would endorse a specific CDN, but perhaps that's acceptable, since it is the official Bootstrap CDN. Also, the helper method should probably include something akin to.try(:html_safe), which might feel out of place.Either way, I can add mention of this to the README, if desired.
