With this change, jQuery build no longer generates the `amd` directory with
AMD modules transpiled from source `src` ECMAScript Modules. To use individual
jQuery modules from source, ESM is now required.
Note that this DOES NOT affect the main `"jquery"` AMD module defined by built
jQuery files; those remain supported.
Closes gh-5276
In gh-4466, we removed the `external` directory in favor of loading some files
directly from `node_modules`. This works fine locally but when deploying code
for tests, this makes it impossible to not deploy `node_modules` as well. To
avoid the issue, this change restores usage of the `external` directory.
One change is that we no longer commit this directory to the repository, its
only purpose is to have clear isolation from `node_modules`.

While we have absolutely no style-related expectations to our minified file,
we do care that it's valid ES 5.1. This is now verified.

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).

So far, we've been testing that jQuery element iteration works with polyfilled
Symbol & transpiled for-of via a Node test with jsdom with the Symbol global
removed. Unfortunately, jsdom now requires Symbol to be present for its internal
functionality so such a test is no longer possible. Instead, it's been migrated
to an iframe test with transpiled JavaScript.
This PR also enables us to use ECMAScript 2017 or newer in Node.js code.
Closes gh-4305
