Enable Babel bugfixes setting

Lukas 'ai-pi' Eipert requested to merge leipert-enable-babel-bugfixes-setting into master

What does this MR do and why?

This rather new setting (ehrm, 3 years old) is well explained in the release blog post: https://babeljs.io/blog/2020/03/16/7.9.0#babelpreset-envs-bugfixes-option-11083

In our code base it has the following effect:

  1. Safari / Webkit has a bug https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220517 related to destructuring function arguments.
  2. @babel/preset-env will turn on transform-parameters.
  3. With the bugfixes setting enabled, it will turn on bugfix-safari-id-destructuring-collision-in-function-expression instead which only transpiles the specific bug case which we might not even have in our code base
