Fixes #6857.
Backports #8050 (component.json → bower.json) to BS v2.3.x.
Follow-up to #6593 (closed) (jQuery 1.9 compatibility confirmation) & #7627 (closed) (jQuery 2.0 compatibility confirmation).
Still allows jQuery 1.8 per mdo's comment: https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/pull/8518#issuecomment-21214011
