This PR allows users to specify a main method accepting no arguments, which is useful to use methods such as org.scalajs.testing.bridge.Bridge.start as an entrypoint, and tweaks minor other things (.bsp in .gitignore, default to Scala 2.13.x).

Right now, arg-less entrypoints can be specified like --mainMethod org.scalajs.testing.bridge.Bridge.start! (! at the end of the method name), but let me know if you'd prefer those to be specified another way.

These changes are motivated by VirtusLab/scala-cli#676, which runs the Scala.JS linker in an external process, rather than embedding it in the Scala CLI native image.

I guess the syntax is going to be subject to some bikeshedding. Using a symbol is annoying if it's not self-explanatory/intuitive. I would opt for a separate option name.

@gzm0 Any opinion?

Just changed the syntax to an option. That's --mainMethodWithNoArgs org.scalajs.testing.bridge.Bridge.start in the current state of the PR.

Useful to run tests for example
