Andrey Goncharov 97b8b8a1c4 Split flipper-plugin package
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

flipper-plugin

flipper-plugin is the dependency used by all modern Flipper plugins (project "Tommy").

For background: https://fb.quip.com/YHOGAnaPqAVJ

flipper-plugin is to be used as dev and peer dependency of all Flipper plugins. It provides:

  1. (TODO) Standard API's to interact with Flipper, such as the client connection.
  2. (TODO) Standard components to organize the UI
  3. (TODO) Testing utilities

API's provided by flipper-plugin are documented at fbflipper.com (TODO).

There should normally be no need to install flipper-plugin as dependency. Rather, plugins should be scaffolded using npx flipper-pkg init (TODO) as documented here
