The build script now uses `yargs` rather than `minimist`. The CLI is
now better documented, and we have additional validation for each
option.
A patch for `yargs` was required because it would blow up on the line
`Error.captureStackTrace`. For some reason when running under LavaMoat,
that property did not exist.
Closes#12766
* Create `.zip` files deterministically
Our build system now creates `.zip` archives deterministically.
Previously the `.zip` file would differ between builds even when the
files being archived were identical. This was because the order the
files were passed in was non-deterministic, and the `mtime` for each
file was different between builds.
The files are now sorted before being zipped, and the `mtime` for each
file has been set to the unix epoch.

The version of a build is now derived from both the `version` field in
`package.json` and the requested build type and version. The build type
and version are added onto the manifest version as a suffix, according
to the SemVer prerelease format.
We already have support in the extension for versions of this format,
but to apply a Flask or Beta version required manual updates to
`package.json`. Now it can be done just with build arguments.
A `get-version` module was created to make it easier to generate the
version in the various places we do that during the build. It was
created in the `development/lib` directory because it will be used by
other non-build development scripts in a future PR.
The `BuildType` constant was extracted to its own module as well, and
moved to the `development/lib` directory. This was to make it clear
that it's used by various different development scripts, not just the
build.

The build type (i.e. the distribution) is now included in the Sentry
environment during setup, for all builds except the "main" build. This
will allow us to track Flask and beta errors separately from other
errors.
A constant was created for the build types. The equivalent constant in
our build scripts was updated to match it more closely, for
consistency. We can't use the same constant in both places because our
shared constants are in modules that use ES6 exports, and our build
script does not yet support ES6 exports.
The singular `BuildType` was used rather than `BuildTypes` to match our
naming conventions elsewhere for enums. We name them like classes or
types, rather than like a collection.
Relates to #11896
The main `version` field in `package.json` will now include the beta
version (if present) rather than it being passed in via the CLI when
building. The `version` field is now a fully SemVer-compatible version,
with the added restriction that any prerelease portion of the version
must match the format `<build type>.<build version>`.
This brings the build in-line with the future release process we will
be using for the beta version. The plan is for each future release to
enter a "beta phase" where the version would get updated to reflect
that it's a beta, and we would increment this beta version over time as
we update the beta. The manifest gives us a place to store this beta
version. It was also important to replace the automatic minor bump
logic that was being used previously, because the version in beta might
not be a minor bump.
Additionally, the filename logic used for beta builds was updated to
be generic across all build types rather than beta-specific. This will
be useful for Flask builds in the future.
This is a refactor to replace the `isBeta` boolean with `buildType`
throughout the build system. This will allow us to modify the behaviour
of each step of the build process for Flask as well.
This should result in no functional changes.
This rationalizes how arguments are passed to and parsed by the build system. To accomplish this, everything that isn't an environment variable from `.metamaskrc` or our CI environment is now passed as an argument on the command line.
Of such arguments, the `entryTask` is still expected as a positional argument in the first position (i.e. `process.argv[2]`), but everything else must be passed as a named argument. We use `minimist` to parse the arguments, and set defaults to preserve existing behavior.
Arguments are parsed in a new function, `parseArgv`, in `development/build/index.js`. They are assigned to environment variables where convenient, and otherwise returned from `parseArgv` to be passed to other functions invoked in the same file.
This change is motivated by our previous inconsistent handling of arguments to the build system, which will grow increasingly problematic as the build system grows in complexity. (Which it will very shortly, as we introduce Flask builds.)
Miscellaneous changes:
- Adds a build system readme at `development/build/README.md`
- Removes the `beta` package script. Now, we can instead call: `yarn dist --build-type beta`
- Fixes the casing of some log messages and reorders some parameters in the build system
The version field is now stored in the main `package.json` file rather
than in the base manifest. It is built into the final manifest during
the build script.
This makes it easier to communicate what the current version should be
to our `auto-changelog` script. It's also generally a more conventional
place to keep track of the version, even considering that we're not
publishing to npm.
