[BUILD]: updating Cerebro core

[dubisdev]

Why

Cerebro build system is nowadays outdated: electron v13, babel v6, webpack v3... With this update Cerebro will get more recent dependencies, security updates, possible bug fixes...

Pending tasks

• Migrated to the last electron version
• Migrated to webpack v4
• Migrated to the last eslint version
• Removed outdated dependencies
• Created a GH flow for compiling the code for different platforms. (GH actions are free for open source projects!)
• Configure test script (currently not working in v0.5.0, I deleted all mock files and I'll search for a solution)
• Update package.json (I changed it to test GH action)
• Update development docs about two package.json structure and where to add dependencies.

⚠️ BREAKING CHANGES

• remote module is no longer available with electron v19. All plugins that were using this module will stop working. @electron/remote must me used instead.

  • We must update cerebro-basic-apps, which is currently not working well in v0.5.0 Cerebro not listing apps (linux OpenSuse) #555 and is using remote module

Possible related issues

• fix window start error #467
• fix No search results in Cerebro Windows #489
• fix Build error Can't resolve 'spawn-sync'  #550
• fix update electron-update to recommend version #528
• No new versions for MacOS #552
• fix Unable to compile on node v9, which blocks upgrading on Arch Linux #426
• Includes fix: removeNoise function not working correctly #557 and Bump electron from 13.1.3 to 15.5.5 #558

For now this is ready!
I'm now working in a PR to fix cerebro-basic-apps, but cerebro-ui also needs to be updated, so for now this is all here. Now I'll fix and update the plugins.

[dubisdev]

Just opened cerebroapp/cerebro-ui#5 to update it and use @electron/remote
Soon I will open a PR for cerebro-basic-apps but first, cerebro-ui must be published so I can use it

[dubisdev]

With the new version of @cerebroapp/cerebro-ui app icons are back. Some of them are failing but that's an error with cerebro-basic-apps

[dubisdev]

cerebro-basic-apps now working!

We need Cerebro to be able to handle @cerebroapp plugin names. As the new version of cerebro-basic-apps wont be compatible with previous cerebro versions (because of the electron version update) I think the best way of not breaking plugins in previous versions is to support from now @cerebroapp/... plugins that will be ignored in previous cerebro versions.

[dubisdev]

• cerebro-basic-apps are ready

I just need cerebro to create @cerebroapp folder in node_modules because it fails if it doesn't exist when installing plugins that start with @cerebroapp

Tests are back again 🚀

Hi @oguhpereira I think this PR is ready!

Just three last comments:

• I commented the CI build workflow for macOs as I can not test it. I prefer not releasing an executable if I'm not sure if it will work.
• I added a section in the readme for documenting how to publish a release. I think we could publish this release as the 1.0.0 and make all our dependencies (cerebo-tools, cerebro-ui) match the mayor version with this, so it will be easier to know which versions are compatible.
• I didn't lint all the project files for making the PR easier to review. When you are done, I can run the command and then we merge the PR 🙌
