Better dynamic import wrappers
This release adds two new dynamic import wrappers and refactors the old one.
Motivation
These wrappers are necessary because Rollup only supports ES6 modules when output.dir is used, which is necessary for this plugin to work the way that it does. Code splitting is also non-optional with output.dir. This means that we need all script environments to support ES6 modules.
However, in Chrome, background and content scripts do not support ES6 modules! They do support the dynamic import function, which allows us to async load modules into a script.
This introduces another complexity with non-persistent background pages. Events that wake the background page are fired at the end of first event loop, before the dynamic import completes. These import wrappers capture wake events and dispatch them after the dynamic import resolves.
Content Scripts
Content scripts now have their own import wrapper. It simply uses dynamic import to load the content script module and does nothing with events, since content scripts are always persistent.
Background Scripts
The new default import wrapper is the implicit import wrapper. It walks the chrome object and wraps any events that it finds. If your extension uses many permissions, the chrome object will have more namespaces, and it may take slightly more time (~15ms) to load the background page. Consider the following if 15ms is too much for you.
The old import wrapper is now the explicit import wrapper, and uses the same API as before. It is quite fast (~5ms), but wake events that are not defined in dynamicImportWrapper.wakeEvents will be lost. Symptoms of this would be things like having to click the browser action twice to register browserAction.onClicked, or missed events from alarms.onAlarm.
