Do not ship `src` folder in published package

[BreakBB]

Before you start - checklist

• [X] I understand that React-PDF does not aim to be a fully-fledged PDF viewer and is only a tool to make one
• [X] I have checked if this feature request is not already reported

Description

Currently the entire src folder is shipped together with the dist folder.

Is there a reason for this? From my experience it is quite unusual to ship the code in the npm package.

Proposed solution

Remove this line:

https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-pdf/blob/459c15b545d25ef382470c749c7afd6de54b214c/package.json#L106

This reduces the package size by ~35% (106kb -> 68kb) and will have a similar result for the unpacked module.

quite unusual

Not a standard practice, but many npm packages do this. @babel/core ships one, webpack does…

The main reasons for shipping src are:

• Ability to build straight from the source e.g. if you don't need so much compatibility (or the opposite for that matter)
• Truly open source - you see exactly what the code was built from, which is not guaranteed/clear otherwise. You can build the code yourself and confirm you're getting the exact same results as in dist directory.

I doubt 40 kB is a problem. Especially since pdfjs-dist, dependency we use, takes 31.1 MB in my node_modules folder.

I didn't thought about it that way, thank you for the answer 👍🏻
