Summary:
To elaborate a bit: The repository-level `.gitignore` file is for
artifacts that are generated _by the code/build of that project_. This
includes `node_modules/`, `bin/`, `build/`, etc. These should be
necessary for all users of the project.
The user-level `.gitignore_global` file is for files that _your system_
generates. These are swap files (`.swp` `.swo` `.swa` for Vim), file
system metadata (`.DS_Store` for macOS, `Thumbs.db` for Windows), trash
directories, etc.
(See `man gitignore` for details about the two files. Take a look at
[the `.gitignore` for Git itself][git-gitignore] as an example.)
[git-gitignore]: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/.gitignore
It doesn’t make sense to put the latter category of patterns into the
project’s `.gitignore`. You can’t accommodate every programming
environment under the sun. The file would be hundreds of lines.
By removing these patterns from the `.gitignore`, we help teach users
about how to configure `.gitignore_global` to set up their own
environment properly, once and for all.
This reverts commit 816c954f3d.
Test Plan:
The `.gitignore` now only contains patterns specific to SourceCred.

Summary:
Running `yarn backend` will now bundle backend applications. They’ll be
placed into the new `bin/` directory. This enables us to use ES6 modules
with the standard syntax, Flow types, and all the other goodies that
we’ve come to expect. A backend build takes about 2.5s on my laptop.
Created by forking the prod configuration to a backend configuration and
trimming it down appropriately.
To test out the new changes, this commit changes `fetchGitHubRepo` and
its driver to use the ES6 module system and Flow types, both of which
are properly resolved.
Test Plan:
Run `yarn backend`. Then, you can directly run an entry point via
```
$ node bin/fetchAndPrintGitHubRepo.js sourcecred example-repo "${TOKEN}"
```
or invoke the standard test driver via
```shell
$ GITHUB_TOKEN="${TOKEN}" src/backend/fetchGitHubRepoTest.sh
```
where `${TOKEN}` is your GitHub authentication token.

Reorganize the code so that we have a single package.json file, which is at the root.
All source code now lives under `src`, separated into `src/backend` and `src/explorer`.
Test plan:
- run `yarn start` - it works
- run `yarn test` - it finds the tests (all in src/explorer) and they pass
- run `yarn flow` - it works. (tested with an error, that works too)
- run `yarn prettify` - it finds all the js files and writes to them
