Switch to terser gem to replace uglifier

What does this MR do?

Switch to terser gem to replace uglifier gem which uses terser js library instead of unmaintained uglifyjs library.

See !43265 (closed) for a background. Updating to newer versions of uglifier fails and the bug is marked will not fix. Projects like webpack already switched to terser by default.
