BUG: resource loading breaks in non-standard installations

See original GitHub issue

For resource loading, bokeh utilizes open() calls on paths constructed from os.path.dirname(__file__); e.g.

https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh/blob/9f510bc7cc2c0fb283bf80436d03b3cac49f22c8/bokeh/resources.py#L199-L204

https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh/blob/9f510bc7cc2c0fb283bf80436d03b3cac49f22c8/bokeh/util/paths.py#L33

This causes errors with some installation methods where in-package paths do not map directly onto filesystem paths; see https://stackoverflow.com/a/20885799 for some general discussion of loading data files within packages.

The solution would be to load resources via pkgutil.get_data or a similarly general mechanism.

Oh, I forgot it was in stdlib. I will defer to you!
