es2017 has proper await support, so it doesn't need to generate polyfills for it. This reduces pure js output size from ~29KB to ~24KB. Yes, it is not much, but it is basically for free. We are safe to make this change since we now target VS Code engine 1.72+ which 100% has required runtime capabilities
