Summary:
In D39311893 (094c5bdfdd) we started monkey-patching `require` to resolve global dependencies in the plugins. Apparently, patching `globalThis.require` did not work in the electron env. On my local machine it kept working because I had the experimental `flipper-server` feature enabled which embeds flipper-server into the electron build. In flipper-server we properly patch `require` via `Module.prototype.require` which affected the global require in electron.
With this fix we now properly patch require in electron via Module.prototype.require all the time
Changelog: Fix plugin loading with experimental flipper-server disabled

Summary: esbuild references external modules via `require`. We wrap `require` to point the references to built-in modules to global variables

Summary:
flipper-server-companion depends on flipper-plugin. flipper-plugin includes dependencies that run only in a browser. Splitting flipper-plugin into core and browser packages helps to avoid including browser-only dependencies into flipper-server bundle.
As a result, bundle size could be cut in half. Subsequently, RSS usage drops as there is twice as less code to process for V8.
Note: it currently breaks external flipper-data-source package. It will be restored in subsequent diffs

Summary:
We want Flipper plugins to share imports with Flipper:
- They must share the same React otherwise different Reacts could conflict with each other
- Other common modules are shared to decrease the bundle size for each plugin.
`setGlobalObject` provides shared modules to Flipper Plugins by adding them to the global context (window or process or global this).
In the headless context, we do not have React and other DOM-related libraries, so we provide stubs instead.
