Webpack separating external packages and cross-platform building

[bradlhart]

Change Description

Webpack has been packaging external packages with eosjs and there is a requirement to ensure that these external packages are separated in a different file. Additionally, webpack and tsc needed deletion of the files before they run and we were using rm -rf which is not crossplatform. Webpack has a plugin that can clean a directory but for tsc, I added rimraf, a cross-platform package for this use case.

Since the vendor files have been moved to externals.js and externals.min.js, these files must be included when using eosjs in the browser going forward.
