Introducing a new command
WATCH=1 make devmode.This new dev mode essentially uses the Vite Dev server, meaning we get automatic reloads on saving ts files and go files.
Since we only build what is absolutely necessary in this mode, you get sub-second reloads on ts changes, and recompiling the go server also only takes a few seconds.
This allows for high productivity development.
To get this to work, I had to modify the Vite dev server a bit, mainly to allow serving of assets in the /assets folder instead of /dist. I also had to add another worker js to send requests to the go server through POST requests. This is because we don't want to have to reload the page when we update the Go code in the sim.
This is currently very experimental and although it works on my machine, it might not work everywhere.
