ESM modules & More

[Scavanger]

Actually it should be ‘only’ due to support from ESM, but somehow it has become a major maintenance update, the Configurator should now really be fit for the next few years.

• Complete switch to ESM modules
• Vite as module bundler and dev server
• Assets partially renamed, moved and converted to be compatible with vite
• iOS7 switch library ‘switchery’ replaced by a pure CSS variant, because not ESM compatible.
• Updated some npm modules
• Removal of (almost) all static libraries and replacement by corresponding npm modules
• ‘Accidentally’ fixed minor bugs / layout problems ;)

Bonus: The packed installers/archives are now about 40 Mb smaller.

Known issues:
Elevation graph in Misson control not working, graph lib incompatible with vite.
Will be fixed in Missionplanner rewrite.

Tested under Windows and Linux, looks good so far.
Maybe someone can take another look and check if I have overlooked something. :)

• Neccesary to run npm install --save-dev @electron-forge/plugin-vite
• 3D model now shows (apropos 8 rc3 configuratorthere is no airframe rending. #2286)
• Mission control does not load at all (may be part of "Known issues")

Make sure to do a npm update after checkout the new branch

• 3D model now shows (apropos 8 rc3 configuratorthere is no airframe rending. #2286)

Works for me on Kubuntu 24.10/X11 and propetary NVIDIA drivers.
Do you have any usefull error messages when running in dev mode?
Edit: I disabled 3D acceleration for linux, should work on all linux systems now, but makes the 3D animations sluggish.

Fixed, (wrong filename of an asset)
