*Authors*
- Checking and updating authors has been migrated
to a custom script in the repo
*Changelog*
- changelogplease is no longer maintained
- generate changelog in markdown for GitHub releases
- generate changelog in HTML for blog posts
- generate contributors list in HTML for blog posts
*dist*
- clone dist repo, copy files, and commit/push
- commit tag with dist files on main branch;
remove dist files from main branch after release
*cdn*
- clone cdn repo, copy files, and commit/push
- create versioned and unversioned copies in cdn/
- generate md5 sums and archives for Google and MSFT
*build*
- implement reproducible builds and verify release builds
* uses the last modified date for the latest commit
* See https://reproducible-builds.org/
- the verify workflow also ensures all files were
properly published to the CDN and npm
*docs*
- the new release workflow is documented at build/release/README.md
*verify*
- use the last modified date of the commit before the tag
- use versioned filenames when checking map files on the CDN
- skip factory and package.json files when verifying CDN
*misc*
- now that we don't need the jquery-release script and
now that we no longer need to build on Node 10, we can
use ESM in all files in the build folder
- limit certain workflows to the main repo (not forks)
- version has been set to the previously released version 3.7.1,
as release-it expects
- release-it added the `preReleaseBase` option and we
now always set it to `1` in the npm script. This is
a noop for stable releases.
- include post-release script to be run manually after a release,
with further steps that should be verified manually

Closes gh-5522
So far, only browser-based JS files were required to be in strict mode (in the
function form). This commit adds such a requirement to Node.js scripts where
the global form is preferred. All Node.js scripts in sloppy mode were
converted to strict mode.
Closes gh-4499
(cherry picked from commit bbad821c39)
