Webpack the extension 🎁

[ryanraposo]

Changes are based on this guide:

• Add webpack, webpack-cli, and ts-loader as devDependencies.
• Update npm scripts so that webpack is used for development.
• Update the debugger configuration launch.json file.
• Add and tweak the webpack.config.js configuration file.
• Update .vscodeignore to exclude node_modules and intermediate output files.

Let me know your specific/alternative plans for bundling (#9). Thanks!

Thank you for the PR! Though the bundling work, the final objective that I wanted with bundling is that I wanted access to external libraries from node_modules. If you look at it, you can see that I had to copy the .js files to the media/lib folder. Then I read them here:

sidebar-markdown-notes/src/webviewProvider.ts

Line 95 in 31d2acd

const purifyUri = webview.asWebviewUri(vscode.Uri.joinPath(this._extensionUri, 'media', 'lib', 'purify.min.js'));

With the bundling, I could also copy those libs from node_modules directly(and potentially the fonts too, at the latex branch)

But this is a great start! And bundling the extension is always good, since it make things faster for everyone. I ran on my machine and looks like everything is working fine.

I'm merging it to a separate branch just to add the dist folder to .gitignore as I think you missed that. Then I'll merge to main
