Accept config as a JS object

[benface]

Replaces #457

This feature was previously discussed here: tailwindlabs/discuss#37

I needed this for a custom gulp build script where the user is able to override parts of the Tailwind config using a JSON file, so the final config is built dynamically rather than contained in a single file. I am not sure if I implemented it properly, as I didn't take the time to go deep in the codebase, but this worked for me and all the tests passed. I'm sorry if I missed anything; if so please let me know. Also I imagine it would be a good idea to add a test for this feature.

Because it was opened two days ago and that was the weekend.

Hi,

I hate to ask, and after a couple of day, I don't know where else to ask for help. Been toying with Parcel lately, and I'm unable to use this method I believe. The CSS don't get transformed. If I change to using arrays, it works fine.

Am I to understand that this supports the following? :

module.exports = {
  plugins: {
    tailwindcss: { config: './tailwind.config.js' }
  }
}

(postcss.config.js)

Real Life Example

module.exports = {
  plugins: {
    'postcss-import': true,
    tailwindcss: { config: './tailwind.config.js' },
    'postcss-simple-vars': true,
    'postcss-mixins': true,
    'postcss-nested': true,
    'postcss-preset-env': true,
    autoprefixer: true
  }
}

(postcss.config.js)
