Bundle the web workers

[ozyx]

Summary

On build, Open MCT creates its bundle openmct.js along with a bunch of other files, many of which are WebWorkers that are conditionally instantiated by different plugins:

    generatorWorker: './example/generator/generatorWorker.js',
    couchDBChangesFeed: './src/plugins/persistence/couch/CouchChangesFeed.js',
    inMemorySearchWorker: './src/api/objects/InMemorySearchWorker.js',

We should bundle these into openmct.js using webpack.

• [ ] Remove the entry points for each web/shared worker in webpack config
• [ ] Add the workers to the bundle using webpack
• [ ] Ensure that breakpoints can be hit in the workers

@evenstensberg any interest in taking this on?

[evenstensberg]

Yep, this would be cool to implement!

@ozyx I've sent you an invite to the webpack internal slack. If you have any problems/feedback about webpack, you can give that there.

@ozyx How do you plan to initiate the workers and where?

[evenstensberg]

I guess we can declare the workers in the global scope in openmct.js

Edit: We can import the workers where they are initiated, instead of a public url to the workers after bundled, we can import them directly using import.meta
