There previously were two special files that were handled
by `build_release_applications`: root.js and RuntimeInstantiator.js.
Both files are explicitly part of the startup process of DevTools
and its various entrypoints.
To remove the copying from `build_release_applications`, we have
to move these to the relevant `devtools_entrypoint`. Since a
`devtools_entrypoints` bundles all subdirectories, we can't keep
these files in `front_end/` directly. Instead, we move these files
to `startup/` to denote their special-casing in the startup process.
Next to that, we have to fix all usages of these files in the entrypoints.
For all JavaScript entrypoint files, all side-effect legacy files
that are loaded by `startup.js` (previously known as `root.js` and renamed
to prevent confusion with the `root/` module) are removed. All
"additional" legacy files that a particular entrypoint requires are
still loaded as-is.
The RuntimeInstantiator is moved to become an implementation detail
of `startup/`. Therefore, all of the usages that were previously
importing from `RuntimeInstantiator` now import via `startup.js`.
In the end, the special-casing of these files are removed and renamed
for clarity. In the future, we want to remove the complicated
entrypoints startup process, but we are not ready for that yet.
That will require additional cleanups with `resources` in `module.json`
before that change can happen.
