This is a high risk change: every byte the card ships is emitted by a
different bundler, minified by a different minifier, and every
stylesheet is compiled by a different sass. The intent is that the
card's behaviour is unchanged.
**Significant development win**: Build time drops from 24s to 1.1s 🎉
Also adds a test suite ('dist') that runs against the built bundle.
Mounts the card from `dist/` the way Home Assistant does, by URL with a
HACS tag, and asserts the entry stays a facade, that no chunk imports
it, that the browser is served the file unmodified, and that the card
starts up and fetches a language chunk lazily.
Runs in Chromium, Firefox and WebKit, so a change of bundler or minifier
is checked against every engine.
The `initialized` state (used in conditions/triggers) was written once
and never cleared, so it meant "has this card ever been initialized"
while everything reading it took it as "is this card usable now". Home
Assistant takes a card off the page and puts it back whenever its
dashboard tab is left and returned to, so the card initialized again
while the state claimed it was initialized throughout: `trigger:
initialized` fired once per card rather than once per startup, and
automations were dropped in between.
The card lifecycle is now an explicit state machine (`SessionManager`),
the only writer of `initialized`, which separates a card that is
starting up from one initializing part of itself again while it runs. A
new `ever` parameter (conditions/triggers) selects the old latched
behaviour.
`remote_control` uses that parameter to keep its two camera priorities
correct under repeated starts. With `camera_priority: entity` the card
now re-reads the entity every time it starts, so a camera selected while
the card was away is picked up on return. With `camera_priority: card`
the card writes the entity on its first start only, unchanged, since
repeating that write would overwrite a camera the user had selected.
Closes: #2642
BREAKING CHANGE: `condition: initialized` is now `false` whenever the
card is not usable, and `trigger: initialized` fires each time the card
starts up rather than only the first time. Set `ever: true` on either to
keep the previous behaviour.

- Closes#2450
**Key intended features:**
- go2rtc compatible
- 100% test coverage to significantly improve ability to test, maintain
and work around browser weirdnesses (e.g. Safari).
- Written from the ground up in the style of the rest of the project.
**To use:**
- Change `live_provider` from `go2rtc` to `go2rtc-experimental`.
