Build system changes

Barrier to contributors. It's too complex. Can we break these down into specific problems and documenting them as issues?

Discussion on the nodejs capnproto implementation. Kinda hacky. Code hasn't aged well. Someone's working on a purely js/typescript implementation (who?, what's its' status?) Is this something we'd want to contribute time/resources to?

• Get CI running again?
  • Adam will look into a GitHub action.

Typescript

It'd be cool to begin incrementally migrating bits of the codebase to Typescript. We can start this when we've updated to Meteor 1.8.2.
