Replace various dependencies with lighter/faster ones

[43081j]

There's various places in this repo we can drop in alternative dependencies or use built-in functionality.

Not all packages here are publicly published/used but we may as well still trim the dependency tree down if its easy enough to do so.

playground

• Switch from express to polka
  • We don't use any of the functionality of express other than ability to run middleware, and polka is faster
  • branch

e2e-tests

• Switch from axios to built-in fetch for communicating with the sentry API
  • branch

monorepo

• Switch from rimraf to premove for cleaning build outputs
  • Much smaller to install. We could also just fs.rm them but would need a script for that rather than a CLI
  • branch
• Switch from npm-run-all to npm-run-all2
  • An actively maintained fork with security updates, etc
  • branch

bundler-plugin-core

• Switch from find-up to empathic
  • Faster, smaller, and de-dupes better in wider dependency trees since it makes many packages redundant (various find-*-up packages)
  • branch

If these are of any interest to you, let me know and i will publish them as PRs.
