STRIPES-861-int - Integration of Module Federation feature. (#392)

With this update, we shift the POC code to conform to current
`stripes-cli` API.
The `build` commands build to an `output` directory by default.

### At the workspace level with `stripes-core`, `stripes-connect`,
`stripes-components`: (assuming that's where the config file is)
Build a module-federation host app:
```
yarn stripes build --federate stripes.config.js
```
Serve the host app (dev mode)
```
yarn stripes serve --federate stripes.config.js
```

At the ui-module level (Builds module bundle for static hosting)
```
yarn stripes build --federate
```
Serving the federated ui-module (dev mode)
```
yarn stripes serve --federate
```

Some `server` features have been updated for sake of serving the host
app so that it can further be loaded into a separately hosted 'hub'.
