Thiago de Arruda da023b72ee Dynamically generate dependencies of browserify build actions
Instead of having to list in filenames.gypi every javascript file that may go
into a browserify build, generate this list dynamically when the build files are
created by gyp.

// Browserify bundles can make use of an external require function as explained
// in https://github.com/substack/node-browserify#multiple-bundles, so electron
// apps can use multi-module preload scripts in sandboxed renderers.
//
// For example, the user can create a bundle with:
//
// $ browserify -x electron preload.js > renderer.js
//
// and any `require('electron')` calls in `preload.js` will work as expected
// since browserify won't try to include `electron` in the bundle, falling back
// to the `preloadRequire` function above.
