Summary:
The build process for the server was a simple ts-node that compiled all deps. However, that didn't do any source transformations we need, like replacing `fb-stubs` with `fb` in facebook builds.
This diff works out the dev build process to align more with how other parts of the code base is build, by starting metro to build and bundle the server (only the sources of flipper-server, flipper-server-core and other flipper packages are bundled, node-deps are left as is).
To achieve this, since metro doesn't have support for 'external' packages like any arbitrarily other bundler, we recycle the electronRequire work around that is used in the desktop app as well

Summary: This diff makes most stuff that is read from the `os` package, and version info etc available from the `serverConfig` object, so that flipper-ui-core no longer needs the `os` package.

Summary:
This diff sets up the socket connection between flipper-browser and flipper-server, and verifies that the initial UI initialisation work (e.g. `get-config` command works). The initial RenderHost is initialised as well based on the config and browser APIs.
Note that flipper-ui-core itself isn't started yet, as that has still a plethora of node imports, so Metro will correctly refuse to bundle
Not in this diff
* remove Node usage from flipper-ui-core
* implement all RenderHost APIs

Summary: The previous started up a dev / web server for bundling in flipper-server, this diff starts the flipper server itself, so that we can connect the client to it (done in next diffs)
