Cleanup

- Rename and move the variable to variables file
- Move code to the grid file
- Use the mixin to generate our own classes
- Wrap in a grid classes enabled conditional
- Document the mixin

 ## Alignment
 
 Use flexbox alignment utilities to vertically and horizontally align columns. **Internet Explorer 10-11 do not support vertical alignment of flex items when the flex container has a `min-height` as shown below.** [See Flexbugs #3 for more details.](https://github.com/philipwalton/flexbugs#flexbug-3)
