Switch entirely to `bun` for development #294

bun has a lot of advantages for development:

It can run TypeScript directly, allowing our scripts to be type-checked.
It can run a lot of web-native APIs (e.g. web workers).
It's faster than node to start up for scripts.
It's faster than npm at installing dependencies (although npm is a lot better than it used to be).
It has a bundler with an esbuild-inspired API, which could remove the need for a separate bundler.
Much better APIs for e.g. process exec and testing.

Issues blocking complete adoption for cubing.js:

[ ] Run playwright using bun: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/2492
[x] Install playwright using bun.
For bundling:
- [ ] https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/2906
[x] https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/2472
Dream: type bundling

We'll always want to test the build against node, but this can be one fairly simple test among all other tests.
