This eliminates a significant number of dependencies, eliminating all
npm audit issues, speeding up `npm ci` by 20%, and overall making the
build faster (faster startup, direct code is faster than streams, etc)
and clearer to understand.
I'm finding it much easier to make build changes for the module
transform with this; I can more clearly indicate task dependencies and
prevent running tasks that don't need to be run.
Given we're changing our build process entirely (new deps, new steps),
it seems like this is a good time to change things up.
This configures the existing build tasks to use esbuild by default. If
using the plain files is desired, passing `--bundle=false` will build
using plain files and still produce a runnable system.
This is only a basic build; a more efficient build is provided later
when gulp is replaced by hereby.
