Summary:
- Upgrades to build-related packages:
- Upgrade typescript, related libraries and typings.
- Upgrade webpack, eslint; add tsc-watch, node-dev, eslint_d.
- Build organization changes:
- Build webpack from original typescript, transpiling only; with errors still
reported by a background tsc watching process.
- Typescript-related changes:
- Reduce imports of AWS dependencies (very noticeable speedup)
- Avoid auto-loading global @types
- Client code is now built with isolatedModules flag (for safe transpilation)
- Use allowJs to avoid copying JS files manually.
- Linting changes
- Enhance Arcanist ESLintLinter to run before/after commands, and set up to use eslint_d
- Update eslint config, and include .eslintignore to avoid linting generated files.
- Include a bunch of eslint-prompted and eslint-generated fixes
- Add no-unused-expression rule to eslint, and fix a few warnings about it
- Other items:
- Refactor cssInput to avoid circular dependency
- Remove a bit of unused code, libraries, dependencies
Test Plan: No behavior changes, all existing tests pass. There are 30 tests fewer reported because `test_gpath.py` was removed (it's been unused for years)

Summary:
- Substantial refactoring of the logic when the server fails to send some
messages to a client.
- Add seqId numbers to server messages to ensure reliable order.
- Add a needReload flag in clientConnect for a clear indication whent the
browser client needs to reload the app.
- Reproduce some potential failure scenarios in a test case (some of which
previously could have led to incorrectly ordered messages).
- Convert other Comm tests to typescript.
- Tweak logging of Comm and Client to be slightly more concise (in particular,
avoid logging sessionId)
Note that despite the big refactoring, this only addresses a fairly rare
situation, with websocket failures while server is trying to send to the
client. It includes no improvements for failures while the client is sending to
the server.
(I looked for an existing library that would take care of these issues. A relevant article I found is https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-web-pubsub/howto-develop-reliable-clients, but it doesn't include a library for both ends, and is still in review. Other libraries with similar purposes did not inspire enough confidence.)
Test Plan: New test cases, which reproduce some previously problematic scenarios.
