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 Reviewed By: lblasa Differential Revision: D38658285 fbshipit-source-id: 751b11fa9f3a2d938ce166687b8310ba8b059dee
