feat(ci): remove need to compile scripts

[christian-bromann]

What is the current behavior?

Currently a developer working on Stencil needs to compile the entire scripts folder first before running the files in them. This seems cumbersome and there is an opportunity to improve the DX here.

What is the new behavior?

By adding tsx we can get rid of the intermediate build step by running TS files on demand. This simplifies a lot of internal scripts and confusion when it comes to resolving paths.

Documentation

Does this introduce a breaking change?

• Yes
• No

Testing

Checkout the branch and run npm run build.

Other information

I time boxed this effort to ensure to get some opinion by the @ionic-team/stencil team first. Currently with the current patch there are two limitations:

• since call the build script directly instead via the Rollup CLI we don't get all the build logs, while rollup support TS files it doesn't support importing them from the config - I think we can work around this but it needs a bit more investigations
• since call the build script directly instead via the Rollup CLI we don't get the --watch flag to behave the same anymore - I think there is a work around for this too by using Nodemon or resolving the first limitation
