Create default component with index.html

We've introduced the ability to choose a default component when calling a directory path by using an index.html.

[Docs](https://django-cotton.com/docs/usage-patterns#index)

Before:


- cotton
- card
- header.html
- card.html


<c-card.card>
<c-card.header />
</c-card.card>


After:


- cotton
- card
- header.html
- index.html


<c-card>
<c-card.header />
</c-card>

Fix non-dynamic attributes on cvars

* Fixes parsing of non-dynamic attributes in cvars by wrabit in https://github.com/wrabit/django-cotton/pull/251

Previously we were still template-parsing non-dynamic attributes on `<c-vars />`. So this:

`<c-vars attribute1="None" attribute2="False" attribute3="1" />`

Would give us the python types `None`, `False`, `1` respectively. Even though if these were attributes on the component, they would have correctly been provided as strings. As raised in 249.

Allow valid json to be passed inside attributes
* Handle attributes containing quoted spaces by wrabit in https://github.com/wrabit/django-cotton/pull/241

Previously, passing a space inside a quoted string inside an attribute value would produce a malformed string due to the way Django understands attributes on a templatetag. Cotton's underlying component templatetag now handles this as expected.
