Create starter repository with level/browserify/webpack examples

[vweevers]

Forked from https://github.com/Level/levelup/issues/619, cc @fergiemcdowall.

We can use level-with-webpack-test as a starting point, maybe move the package to a subdirectory and add more subdirectories to demonstrate setups with browserify and others.

Or, create a starter repo for each? E.g. Level/level-with-webpack-starter.

Yes, maybe a single repo like level-with-webpack-test with a script command for every supported packaging tool: npm run build-with-browserify, npm run build-with-webpack, (and if we can get it to work) npm run build-with-rollup ?

BTW: things I like about level-with-webpack-test as it is now:

• it is very terse, clear, and unpolluted by extraneous complications (test suites, linters, development servers, and other bells and whistles).
• The source file is written in an ES6 style.

Yeah, that's why I'm leaning towards multiple starter repos (keeps dependencies and scripts clean). And level-with-webpack-test does have a linter atm (standard) but that was not intentional, we can remove it.

(Side note: when creating level-with-webpack-test, which should have taken a minute, I wasted probably 15 minutes trying to understand webpack(-cli). First I installed webpack, which comes with what seems to be a dummy CLI, and it told me to install webpack-cli, so I did and removed webpack, but webpack-cli complained it couldn't find webpack, so I did the rm -rf node_modules && npm i dance, still didn't work, then I installed both and it worked. Waaat is this nonsense)

Poll time! How should we structure this?

Edit: poll has closed.
