upgrade packages and use threadsjs

[3xtr4t3rr3str14l]

Resolves #41 by upgrading to webpack 5 and using threadsjs for the web workers.

Since we were originally using the web-worker with an inline loader, but are no longer doing so under this PR, I also made a separate entry in the webpack config to transpile the worker *.ts file(s) into their own worker.ts

Moving from workerize-loaders to native web workers also opened the door to upgrade all the other packages in the repo, so I did that as well.

Also resolves #40

I disabled ban-types since it was detected in the eslint upgrade. I will make an issue to go through these instances, uncomment ban-types, and apply the changes required by the linter.

@3xtr4t3rr3str14l Try this library, it's working great in Lodestar! https://www.npmjs.com/package/threads

@dapplion I tried using threads, and I have most of the code setup, but I'm running into webpack/script loading/etc woes. I've tried a bunch of things, and almost every time I try something I get these errors in the console:

GEThttp://localhost:8080/worker.tsx
[HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found 5ms]

Loading Worker from “http://localhost:8080/worker.tsx” was blocked because of a disallowed MIME type (“text/html”).

Any idea what might be going on? I thought I had all the types right in my webpack config, but now I'm not sure. This wasn't happening when I was using the native web workers, fwiw.
