Our goal is to allow tree shaking by removing formatters from formatters.js.
Webpack v4 did not support this. Therefore, this PR upgrades the Theme to use
v5. Note that this is a new major version of Webpack, meaning there were some
breaking changes. To support v5, I had to make these changes to the
webpack-config:

  • The keyword 'query' is no longer supported. It is called 'options' now.
  • Query params, such as 'name=[name].[contenthash]...', can no longer be
    used with loaders. Those params must be specified in 'options'.
  • v5 introduced 'publicPath: "auto"', but not all plugins can handle this
    yet. In the interim, we should set 'output.publicPath: ""'.

I also upgraded grunt-webpack and the mini-css-extract-plugin to versions that
better support Webpack v5.

After the upgrade, I made sure that removing formatters from formatters.js
tree shakes all their 3rd party dependencies.

J=SLAP-827
TEST=manual

Tested the following:

  • libPhoneNumber was not included in the bundle when nationalizedPhoneDisplay
    was removed from formatters.js.
  • Asset urls were resolved properly for a non-ML site regardless of whether or
    not bundle.js and bundle.css were inlined.
  • Asset urls were resolved properly for a ML site without inlining.
  • I selected a random sample of the HitchhikerJS.Formatters to ensure they
    worked as expected.
  • isMobile and isStaging from bundle.js still worked as expected.
  • The iFrame integration worked as expected.

## Version 1.17.0
Version 1.17.0 of the Theme supports the new Overlay integration. It also has a number of changes to support the new, built-in Product entity type.
### Changes
- A new file, static/js/formatters-custom.js was added to the Theme. This file is where any custom formatters or overrides of built-in formatters, should live. (#448)
- Single language cards now use the `toLocalizedDistance` formatter to properly format entity distance. (#449)
- To better support WCAG, the iFrame integration now has a `title` attribute on the iFrame. (#451)
- The Theme now allows a new type of Answers integration: the Overlay. This is one of the simplest integrations offered. Additional documentation on it can be found in the Hitchhiker training.
- We upgraded the Theme to use Webpack v5. This will enable proper tree-shaking of bundle.js. (#463, #470)
- A new card type was added: `product-prominentimage-clickable`. The card itself is clickable. (#466)
- A new formatter was added: `Formatter.hoursList`. This formatter lists the hours for an entity for every day of the week. (#467)
- To improve site performance, the `defer` attribute was added to all the SDK JS assets. (#473, #474)
- Small updates were made to all the product cards to support the new, built-in Product entity type. (#411, #476)
- A new formatter was added for prices: `Formatter.price`. (#472)
- The `JAMBO_INJECTED_DATA` environment variable now includes the label of an experience's vertical. This label is used as the default vertical name in navigation, no results, and universal section title. (#490, 493)
### Bug Fixes
- The post upgrade script now works correctly when the Theme has been imported as a submodule. (#441)
- The `LocationStandard` card's styling was updated to be fully compatible with IE11. (#455)
- A bug was fixed that caused the Theme's inline Javascript to be minified twice. By removing this bug, Webpack builds were made considerably more performant. (#461)
- Fixes were made to ensure the `View Results` button for `CollapsibleFilters` is sticky. (#468, #469)
- The logic for identifying absolute URLs in the HBS templates was corrected (#475)
- The thumbnail selection logic in `Formatter.image` was incorrect. It was not properly selecting the smallest thumbnail greater than the provided threshold. This has been corrected. Note that this bug had an impact on page performance as unnecessarily large images were loaded on the page. (#471)
- The `relativePath` computed by Jambo is now properly passed along to the Theme's cards. (#499)
