Allow deps.cljs to declare a foreign lib as remote

Question

When using things like the Google Maps JS API (link: 1) the Javascript that is required can't be bundled inside a jar as it depends on the used API key.

To be able to provide externs for those kind of libraries there should be a way to declare them as "remote" in {{deps.cljs}}.

js_deps.cljs deliberately only allows upstream foreign-libs (defined in deps.cljs file) to be local file. Yet, this issue is still open, so I (hastily :D) assume the local file enforcement was not intentional.

The patch should add back support for using url as foreign-libs in deps.cljs and remove unused codes in load-foreign-library**.
