feat: Oep65: Add Piral and Pilet webpack configuration

[pedromartello]

This commit adds webpack configurations to support projects being built under OEP-65 (currently still OEP-XXXX). The OEP adds support for Piral to the open-edX frontend.

The webpack.piral.config.js is derived from webpack.dev.config.js but removes babel, css and image modules and their configurations as well as the HtmlWebpackPlugin and the devServer (the equivalent functions are handled internally by piral). It is intended to be used with the frontend-app-shell package. The shell requires minimal configuration.

The webpack.pilet.config.js is derived from webpack.prod.config.js though it is intended for use in development mode currently. It removes bundle analyzer and adds support for typescript. It also removes the HtmlWebpackPlugin as the piral framework handles that internally. It is intended to be used with future builds of MFE projects being converted to Pilets (see Piral.io link above) to be loaded in the frontend-app-shell referenced above.

@pedromartello Great, thanks for the update!

Hey @abdullahwaheed, this PR is ready for engineering review by fed-bom now.

[arbrandes]

I've been working with Pedro on this, so while I'm approving it as frontend core-contributor, we totally want a second opinion before merging.

Suggested change

	* as it was conflicting with Piral during bundling. It als remoes the HTMLWebpack
	* as it was conflicting with Piral during bundling. It also removes the HTMLWebpack

[pedromartello]

Upon further discussion with @arbrandes we will try a different route by manipulation the configs directly in the projects that consume them. This PR is therefore moved back into Draft until OEP65 is on more solid foooting.

Hey @pedromartello, just checking in to see if this PR is still blocked?

[itsjeyd]

@pedromartello Friendly ping on this. And if this PR is indeed still blocked, do you know when it could potentially be unblocked?

[Mashal-m]

Hey @pedromartello, What is the current status of this PR, is it ready to review and merge?

[pedromartello]

I am closing this pull request. The work has been incorporated into the piral project for now. We will open a new PR once the project is further along and warrants seeding configuration in frontend-build.
