Add Common Build Tooling
## Information for Developers
On Windows, the build scripts will automatically install Node. Other
platforms should use their package manager or download it from
https://nodejs.org/en/download/
Pick one:
- VSCode: `Ctrl+Shift+B`
- VSCode: `F5` (build & run with debugger) or `Ctrl+F5` (build & run
without debugger)
- Windows: double-click root `Build.bat` (pause to see output) or
`tools/build/build.bat` (no pause)
- Git Bash and non-Windows: `tools/build/build`
## Information for Server Admins
- TGS scripts will automatically install the version of Node specified
in `dependencies.sh`
- Either use this build script, or compile tgui by running any script
in `tgui/bin` folder.
## Details
Both dm and tgui are now built with a single script. It's pretty easy
to launch: just press `Ctrl+Shift+B` in VSCode, and tada! 🎉
**It's smart.** It will skip certain steps if source files were
untouched for that step. So, if you're only touching dm code, it will
only rebuild dm code, and will skip tgui.
**Syntax is fairly readable and maintainable.**
```js
const { Task, runTasks, exec } = require('./cbt');
const taskTgui = new Task('tgui')
.depends('tgui/yarn.lock')
.depends('tgui/packages/**/*.js')
.provides('tgui/public/*.bundle.*')
.provides('tgui/public/*.chunk.*')
.build(async () => {
await exec('tgui/bin/tgui');
});
runTasks([taskTgui]);
```
**This is a long term solution to the js bundle hell.** Now that we
have a single script to build everything, bundles have been excluded
from the repo, and they will no longer cause conflicts in PRs. This
results in quicker PR turnaround time and less time wasted on
rebuilding tgui for PRs.
**CI pipelines have been updated.** They're not coded in the most
optimal way, just making them green for now.
## Possible future work
- Support compiling with DM defines by passing them as an argument,
like `-D LOWMEMORYMODE`.
- Instead of explicitly listing the task sequence in `runTasks()`,
support specifying tasks in `.depends()`, which in turn will allow
building a graph of dependencies and running things in parallel.
