Head's up: plug-compile removing --importmap option (and esbuild update)

Recent Deno version included a regression (later fixed I think) that caused imports to fail for plug builds. This escalated into some push from the Deno community to switch SilverBullet's plug-compile code to use @deno/esbuild-plugin - JSR instead of the legacy plugin we used before.

This all seems to work, but cannot support specific importmaps, so I had to remove the --importmap option from plug-compile. For as far as I can see most plug builds use the -c option to pass in a deno.json file (which can include an import map directly), but those who who still rely on explicit import maps, please move your imports to your deno.json file and use the -c option.

The new version of deno-compile should be part of the edge builds soon (which many of you use by default). Please check if your builds still work.

Does that mean we can finally import files as raw strings? So we can get rid of all the html as big strings files (like the panel_html file for example)?
