remove dist files from main branch after release

*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
*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
- move dist wrappers to "wrappers" folders for easy removal
of all built files
- limit certain workflows to the main repo (not forks)
- version in package.json has been set to beta.1 so that
the next release will be beta.2
- 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.
Fixesjquery/jquery-release#114
Closes gh-5512
Summary of the changes:
* define the `exports` field in `package.json`; `jQuery` & `$` are also
exported as named exports in ESM builds now
* declare `"type": "module"` globally except for the `build` folder
* add the `--esm` option to `grunt custom`, generating jQuery as an ECMAScript
module into the `dist-module` folder
* expand `node_smoke_tests` to test the slim & ESM builds and their various
combinations; also, test both jQuery loaded via a path to the file as well
as from module specifiers that should be parsed via the `exports` feature
* add details about ESM usage to the release package README
* run `compare_size` on all built minified files; don't run it anymore on
unminified files where they don't provide lots of value
* remove the remove_map_comment task; SWC doesn't insert the
`//# sourceMappingURL=` pragma by default so there's nothing to strip
Fixes gh-4592
Closes gh-5255
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
