Summary: Currently, Flipper Server has a few productions dependencies (mac-ca, node-fetch) that are not bundled with the Flipper Server. It makes it harder to distribute Flipper Server, as now all potential consumers need not only to download the bundle, but also install these additional dependencies. This diff makes it possible to bundle `mac-ca` and `node-fetch` with Flipper Server. As a result, Flipper Server becomes dependency-free in production.
