Heads up: upcoming change to esbuild package names

[evanw]

This is a heads up that I'm planning on changing esbuild's package names in an upcoming release. The packages are being moved under the @esbuild/ scope to avoid name collisions. I'm also changing the os and cpu strings to be exactly equal to the ones returned by node (previously a few of them weren't consistent). You can find the work-in-progress change that does this here: evanw/esbuild#2508.

More context: I've had a problem with people trying to add support for a new platform to esbuild and then registering the package name themselves, which doesn't work because then I don't control the package name. Using a scope prevents this problem.

Thanks for the heads up, it looks straight-forward to catch up!

I've created a draft PR for it. Rest your hands José. All the best.

Another heads up that this change has now been released: https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/releases/tag/v0.16.0. The new package names are in the release notes.
