We have to convert *something* to TypeScript so it doesn't complain that there's nothing to compile, so this converts the easiest utility library.
Many of the scripts are copied from the react-sdk.
Run `yarn install` in the js-sdkc and react-sdk installs. We were
avoiding this before due to using babel dependencies from riot-web
ro build js-sdk, which worked as long as the installed babel versions
and plugins were identical. js-sdk has now been upgraded to babel 7
and so that no longer worked.
This will probably cause react-sdk & js-sdk to be built an
unnecessary number of times.
This covers the "recents" section and rough design exclusively. It is known that the Field does nothing and that there's a bunch of missing functionality - this is to be iterated upon in future PRs. Labs flag is to aide development and should be removed in a very near future PR.
Also, this is focusing on DMs and not user lists in general because I misinterpreted the scope. I'll fix this in a future PR and instead make this the best DM invite dialog it can be.

This moves the babel and postcss configs into the webpack config for ease of maintenance (and because we need variations of them). The typescript config is left outside the webpack config for IDEs to pick it up.
With a switch to Only One Webpack™ we need a way to help developers generate the component index without a concurrent watch task. The best way to do this is to have developers import their components, but how do they do that when we support skins? The answer in this commit is to change skinning.
Skinning now expects to receive your list of overrides instead of the react-sdk+branded components. For Riot this means we send over *only* the Vector components and not Vector+react-sdk.
Components can then be annotated with the `replaceComponent` decorator to have them be skinnable. The decorator must take a string with the dot path of the component because we can't reliably calculate it ourselves, sadly.
The decorator does a call to `getComponent` which is where the important part of the branded components not including the react-sdk is important: if the branded app includes the react-sdk then the decorator gets executed before the skin has finished loading, leading to all kinds of fun errors. This is also why the skinner lazily loads the react-sdk components to avoid importing them too early, breaking the app.
The decorator will end up receiving null for a component because of the getComponent loop mentioned: the require() call is still in progress when the decorator is called, therefore we can't error out. All usages of getComponent() within the app are safe to not need such an error (the return won't be null, and developers shouldn't use getComponent() after this commit anyways).
The AuthPage, being a prominent component, has been converted to demonstrate this working. Changes to riot-web are required to have this work.
The reskindex script has also been altered to reflect these skinning changes - it no longer should set the react-sdk as a parent. The eventual end goal is to get rid of `getComponent()` entirely as it'll be easily replaced by imports.
