Build utility used by CodeMirror packages

Helper scripts to build CodeMirror packages.

The exports (build and watch) from this package build packages that conform to the conventions of the various @codemirror packages. They do the following:

• Mangle the code to convert our /// doc comments to /** */ comments, so that TypeScript will not strip them.

• Run the TypeScript compiler, catching the output in memory.

• Run rollup and rollup-plugin-dts on the result to emit the CommonJS and ES modules, as well as a bundled .d.ts file, to dist/.

There's also a cm-buildhelper binary which builds the main file specified as its first argument. This is used by the individual packages in their prepare scripts.
