#2877: gulp does a lot more than necessary

Comment (by dustin):

 #2879 is pretty much the same thing: `buildbot dataspec` requires `mock`,
 which isn't ordinarily required for building Buildbot.

 In general, from what I can tell 'gulp prod' not only runs `buildbot
 dataspec`, but also runs the unit tests.

 I see that there's a `gulp dev` separate from `gulp prod`.  Would it make
 sense to only run `buildbot dataspec` on `gulp dev` (probably as a
 separate script, so users can re-generate the dataspec if it changes)?
 And to set up `gulp ci` so that tests are only run when desired?
