0dccf2e009 refactor(web): redo proof of work web worker logic (#941)
* chore(web/js): delete proof-of-work-slow.mjs

This code has served its purpose and now needs to be retired to the
great beyond. There is no replacement for this, the fast implementation
will be used instead.

* chore(web): handle building multiple JS entrypoints and web workers

Signed-off-by: Xe Iaso <me@xeiaso.net>

* feat(web): rewrite frontend worker handling

This completely rewrites how the proof of work challenge works based on
feedback from browser engine developers and starts the process of making
the proof of work function easier to change out.

- Import @aws-crypto/sha256-js to use in Firefox as its implementation
  of WebCrypto doesn't jump directly from highly optimized browser
  internals to JIT-ed JavaScript like Chrome's seems to.
- Move the worker code to `web/js/worker/*` with each worker named after
  the hashing method and hash method implementation it uses.
- Update bench.mjs to import algorithms the new way.
- Delete video.mjs, it was part of a legacy experiment that I never had
  time to finish.
- Update LibreJS comment to add info about the use of
  @aws-crypto/sha256-js.
- Also update my email to my @techaro.lol address.

* fix(web): don't hard dep webcrypto anymore

* chore(lib/policy): start the deprecation process for slow

This mostly adds a warning, but the "slow" method is in the process of
being removed. Warn admins with slog.Warn.

- Proof of work solving has had a complete overhaul and rethink based on feedback from browser engine developers, frontend experts, and overall performance profiling.
- One of the biggest sources of lag in Firefox has been eliminated: the use of WebCrypto. Now whenever Anubis detects the client is using Firefox (or Pale Moon), it will swap over to a pure-JS implementation of SHA-256 for speed.
- Optimize the performance of the pure-JS Anubis solver.
- Web Workers are stored as dedicated JavaScript files in `static/js/workers/*.mjs`.
- Pave the way for non-SHA256 solver methods and eventually one that uses WebAssembly (or WebAssembly code compiled to JS for those that disable WebAssembly).
- Legacy JavaScript code has been eliminated.
