Perf: paper-dialog costs too much to use (130KB)

[ebidel]

I added paper-dialog to chromestatus.com and it increases page load by 130KB. We should try to slim that down.

There are a lot of deps. One obvious one is to remove web animations. The polyfill alone is 50kb and should be feature detected + lazy loaded. Better would be to do the transitions in pure css.
The iron overlay and fit elements also add a decent weight.

Also, the paper-dialog import the Roboto font:

paper-dialog-shared-styles.html > paper-styles/typography.html > font-roboto/roboto.html

Will there be any update on this?
