Drop support for Edge Legacy: the non-Chromium, EdgeHTML-based Microsoft
Edge version. Also, restrict some workarounds that were applied
unconditionally in all browsers to run only in IE now. This slightly
increases the size but reduces the performance burden on modern browsers
that don't need the workarounds.
Also, clean up some comments & remove some obsolete workarounds.

PR gh-4550 added support for running ES modules & AMD tests via Karma. This
required reading the `esmodules` & `amd` props from both `QUnit.config` &
`QUnit.urlParams`. By picking these two properties manually, the `dev` one
stopped being respected while ones handled directly by QUnit were fine (like
`hidepassed`). Instead of maintaining the full list of options, the code now
iterates over QUnit URL config and handles the fallbacks in a more generic way.
Apart from that, all jQuery source & test files are now read directly from disk
instead of being cached by Karma so that one can run `grunt karma:chrome-debug`
& work on a fix without restarting that Karma run after each change. A similar
effect could have been achieved by setting `autoWatch` to `true` but then the
main Karma page runs tests in an iframe by default when
`grunt karma:chrome-debug` is run instead of relying on the current debug flow.

jQuery source has been migrated in gh-4541 from AMD to ES modules. To maintain
support for consumers of our AMD modules, this commits adds a task transpiling
the ES modules sources in `src/` to AMD in `amd/`.
A "Load with AMD" checkbox was also restored to the QUnit setup. Note that,
contrary to jQuery 3.x, AMD files need to be generated via `grunt amd` or
`grunt` as sources are not authored in ECMAScript modules. To achieve a similar
no-compile experience during jQuery 4.x testing, use the new "Load as modules"
checkbox which works in all supported browsers except for IE & Edge (the
legacy, EdgeHTML-based one).

Closes gh-4554
Migrate all source AMD modules to ECMAScript modules. The final bundle
is compiled by a custom build process that uses Rollup under the hood.
Test files themselves are still loaded via RequireJS as that has to work in
IE 11.
Tests can now be run in "Load as modules" mode which replaces the previous
"Load with AMD" option. That option of running tests doesn't work in IE
and Edge as it requires support for dynamic imports.
Some of the changes required by the migration:
* check `typeof` of `noGlobal` instead of using the variable directly
as it's not available when modules are used
* change the nonce module to be an object as ECMASscript module exports
are immutable
* remove some unused exports
* import `./core/parseHTML.js` directly in `jquery.js` so that it's not
being cut out when the `ajax` module is excluded in a custom compilation

Tracked bower dependencies are located at "src/sizzle" and "test/libs".
The source-destination mapping is in the Gruntfile.
When updating a bower dependency, update the version in bower.json, run
`grunt bower`, and then commit the result. When adding a dependency,
update the bowercopy task accordingly.
Fixes#14615.
Closes gh-1452.
