Upgrade to vite and typescript.

This is basically a full overhaul of the project. The main changes are to:

  • Upgrade to using vite.
  • Upgrade the generated protos to typescript.
  • Upgrade our custom components to typescript.

I wanted to try and do this in more discrete steps but it was not really possible:

  • Changing to vite first wasn't possible because caused the js protos not to package properly.
  • Upgrading the protos to typescript first wasn't possible as this changed the interfaces, breaking the existing views.
  • Upgrading the current code to typescript first wasn't possible without updating the js protos.
  • And, fixing the breaks from the protos upgrade was about the same amount of work as porting the js code to typescript.
    • In fact, this actually made it MUCH easier because the compiler can tell us all of the broken views.

I decided to break out the generated code from this MR into a separate branch target this MR at the separate branch.

I left the package.json in this MR so you can see what dependencies are added, but left out the protos and package-lock from the diff.

When this gets approved I'll change the target and merge into master instead.
