Removing JS from version control

[shubham1172]

The source of truth for this repository is typescript code which is transpiled into JavaScript. Since we are storing both TS and JS code (which is derived from the former), it leads to issues like #59

Question: why are we storing JS? Can we do without it?

Also, the lib folder name does not sound right. It should be generated in a build folder instead.

@shubham1172 We need either .js/ docker images/ shell script for the execution of action. Please refer this for the type of custom actions. So we need js files. And lib naming convention is followed for all the azure actions and changing it right way will be difficult. We shall definitely work on your suggestion for renaming this folder.

Sure, that's fine - another way to temporarily mitigate this is to add a step in the repository's CI, that builds and verifies the lib directory. This ensures that there is no delta between the lib in source code and the lib generated from actual typescript files.
