Standalone repository setup for wp-now

[adamziel]

What?

Removing wp-now from the main repository means it needs a standalone setup where build, tests, and releases all work.

On the first sight, it might seem like a lot of work. However, thanks to the modularity of nx this is as simple as removing all the files that are unrelated to wp-now. It provides a starting point with feature parity as compared to the existing repository setup.

Reviewing

There are too many changes to use the Files changed Github feature. Instead, refer to the wp-now-standalone branch.

Other notes

If wp-now finds that useful, it may now easily remove nx as a build tool. It is not that useful for a single project. In this scenario, it would rely just on vite which is already configured in the wp-now project directory.

As a bonus point, wp-now can now be started directly using node without the need to go through nx preview because all its dependencies are available through node_modules:

; node dist/packages/wp-now/main.js
wp-now <cmd> [args]

Commands:
  wp-now start       Start the server
  wp-now php <file>  Run the php command passing the arguments for php cli

Options:
      --version  Show version number                                   [boolean]
  -h, --help     Show help                                             [boolean]

You must provide a valid command

To confirm that build, tests, etc indeed work, refer to the CI checks below this PR.

Orchestrating wp-now releases

The same old npm run release command continues to work for the standalone version of wp-now:

npm run release                                                                                                                   130 ↵

Next steps

• Merge Remove wp-now from the main repository so it can live in a dedicated space. See #473. #477 to remove wp-now files from this repo
• Commit this PR to a new repository.

I accidentally committed a version bump to v0.1.52 to this repo while testing npm run release. Just ignore it.

[adamziel]

All checks pass, cc @danielbachhuber @sejas @wojtekn

[adamziel]

These three PRs are included in this branch, but the version bump to v0.1.56 isn't:

#451
#395
#455

The conflicts are all caused by the version bump and can be ignored for the purposes of the migration.

@adamziel , thank you for all the work in separating the projects 🙏 .
I think it was beneficial to have the projects together in the early phases, so we could modify php-wasm without releasing new versions.

The code migration to https://github.com/WordPress/playground-tools is finished so I'm closing this PR
