Optimize plugin window by droping React, adopting Svelte or Preact

[softmarshmallow]

Currently the production mode of the figma plugin is hosted on plugin window and the hosted plugin ui (Both React)
But since the bootup time is critical, we can optimize this via using minimized version of framework (or even vanilla) just for hosting a plugin ui on plugin window.

I'm not sure how much booting time can be saved, but worth a try ;)

• skeleton view in vanilla js or here

Resolutions

• change plugin host to vanilla html + js + css
• change PluginApp not to wait until PluginService to bootup (show ui first, don't throw when initialized without timeout)
• Optimize web for faster loading speed across network
