[Build] ES6 + Webpack (v2.1.0)

[andersevenrud]

Making an official issue on this. I've been making posts (https://community.os-js.org/t/roat-to-es6-es2015/131/5), but thought I'd make a checklist here as well.

Feel free to give it a try: https://github.com/os-js/OS.js/tree/upcoming/v2.1.0 it should be working just fine as of now.

This should be ready ASAP

• Replace build system
• New task system
• Webpack integration for core
• Webpack integration for packages
• ES6 Classes for Core
• ES6 Classes for Server
• Modules!
• Remove "old OSjs public namespace ...
• Replace with OSjs.require()
• Rewrite to arrow functions and get rid of self
• Promises for all chains
• Refactor modules
• General cleanups and improvements
• Removal of deprecated methods
• Removal of "simple" package types (no longer necessary)
• Removal of automated installers (at least from this repo)
• Removal of dist/vendor by default
• Move src/client/themes to src/themes
• Detach the osjs scheme files
• Update unit tests for server
• Reimplement client unit testing
• Add all tasks from old build system (like configuration)
• Refactor default applications
• Make sure it works on Windows
• Express as node server
• New manuals: https://github.com/os-js/manual.os-js.org https://manual.os-js.org

• webpack issue: Source Maps don't work on Chrome webpack/webpack#2145 (Seems to be a browser issue related to sourcemap sizes)
• Refactor extra packages
• Refactor games packages
• Refactor experimental packages
• Move outdated packages into incompatible repo
• Better overlay support
• Code documentation pass
• GoogleDrive module
• OneDrive module

Not crutial for release, but would be nice to do:

• New Dropbox module with new API => [VFS] Dropbox #28
• Refactor system packages (not crutial for release)
• Better coverage in unit tests
• Make new web template compatible with new esdoc/jsdoc (https://github.com/os-js/api.os-js.org)

If anyone reads this:

Feedback on the new documentation is much appreciated. I'm trying to really nail it down this time to avoid confusion and such.

So if you have the time, give it a look and let me know how you feel about it.

And if you're down to get a bit dirty, try out the new release. It should work pretty solidly at the moment as I've worked out the last few kinks and done a bit of polishing.

I deployed a pre-release on https://demo.os-js.org/ to monitor things for a while. It'll probably uncover some bugs :)

Feel free to take it for a ride!

Well.... It's out now! 🤞
