Use Vite

Has HMR support:
https://github.com/crxjs/chrome-extension-tools
Used this on a personal project and while it was awesome for HMR it was awfully slow for cold starts, taking around 60s to build. Need to see if can fix that somehow.
The beta versions of [vite, @crxjs/vite-plugin, @vitejs/plugin-react] seem to run much faster, taking only around 15s to build on a cold start. It requires setting "type": "module" to use esm which may be problematic.
@vitejs/plugin-react-swc is even faster again
