3629: Alternative aproach to plugin auto update r=matklad a=matklad
This is very much WIP (as in, I haven't run this once), but I like the result so far.

The primary focus here on simplification:
* local simplification of data structures and control-flow: using union of strings instead of an enum, using unwrapped GitHub API responses
* global simplification of control flow: all logic is now in `main.ts`, implemented as linear functions without abstractions. This is stateful side-effective code, so arguments from [Carmack](http://number-none.com/blow/john_carmack_on_inlined_code.html) very much apply. We need all user interractions, all mutations, and all network requests to happen in a single file.
* as a side-effect of condensing everything to functions, we can get rid of various enums. The enums were basically a reified control flow:
```
enum E { A, B }
fn foo() -> E {
if cond { E::A } else { E::B }
}
fn bar(e: E) {
match e {
E::A => do_a(),
E::B => do_b(),
}
}
==>>
fn all() {
if cond { do_a() } else { do_b() }
}
```
* simplification of model: we don't need to reinstall on settings update, we can just ask the user to reload, we don't need to handle nightly=>stable fallback, we can ask the user to reinstall extension, (todo) we don't need to parse out the date from the version, we can use build id for nightly and for stable we can write the info directly into package.json.

Everything now happens in main.ts, in the bootstrap family of
functions. The current flow is:
* check everything only on extension installation.
* if the user is on nightly channel, try to download the nightly
extension and reload.
* when we install nightly extension, we persist its release id, so
that we can check if the current release is different.
* if server binary was not downloaded by the current version of the
extension, redownload it (we persist the version of ext that
downloaded the server).
3645: cargo update r=matklad a=CAD97
Closes#3644 as well.
Would setting up [dependabot](https://dependabot.com/) make sense for this repository?

3637: Update dependencies and fix minimist CVE r=matklad a=darinmorrison
This PR just updates some dependencies and also regenerates the `package-lock.json` to fix the recent [minimist CVE](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-7598) (a dependency of eslint).
