Grafana plugin scripts

Grafana 6 has a big change for developers: from grunt to webpack, and from Angular to React This plugin work like react-scripts from create-react-app (actually I copy a lot of code from it, thanks those guys who wrote it), which mean it support same features:

• Bundle and compile ESNext JS to ES5 (depend on your browserlist config)
• Support CSS module, SASS, SASS module, PostCSS with autoprefixer
• Support TypeScript (enabled by create tsconfig.json)
• Support Babel macros
• Support Jest test (in progress)

And has some differences:

• Output target will be "amd" instead of "commonJS", because Grafana required that.
• By default, there will be no css output, css will be loaded automatically using style-loader. If you want to extract css output, set env GENERATE_CSS=true. I personally recommend to use styled-components instead.

How to use
