feat: ssr build using optimized deps

[patak-dev]

Description

Follow up to:

• feat: non-blocking esbuild optimization at build time #8280
• feat: scan free dev server #8319
• feat: default esm SSR build, simplified externalization #8348

This PR removes the need for @rollup/plugin-commonjs for SSR builds, enabling dep optimization using esbuild by default for them.

After this PR, if the user doesn't use optimizeDeps.disabled: 'build' or optimizeDeps.devScan: true then Vite isn't using plugin-commonjs or the esbuild scanner. In the same way we are doing with terser, we could decide in Vite v3 to avoid @rollup/plugin-commonjs as a dependency and ask users to add it to the project themselves if they need it. It isn't a big dep though, so probably not worthy.

There is a new deps cache for SSR. We could discuss if the build cache could be reused, but given that most deps will be externalized, I think a separate cache wouldn't affect performance. It will allow users to avoid busting the cache if there is a conditional change for the config depending on if we are building for SSR.
Given that we have more caches now, this PRs renames them to be more future proof:

• deps
• deps_build
• deps_build_ssr

And the prev processingDeps are now the same as above but with a _temp suffix. About using a flat structure instead of deps/build, we discussed in a previous PR with Anthony and Blu that this structure is easier to work with.

I thought about renaming deps to deps_dev, but I left it as deps because it is shorter and this dir is seen in the browser network tab.

@benmccann @brillout I would need some help with testing and validating here. Tests are passing on Vite's side, but maybe we should expand them.

Merging as this could be considered part of the work done in:

• feat: default esm SSR build, simplified externalization #8348

Let's release an alpha so we help the ecosystem test these changes. If you see an issue here, let's discuss it further PRs

I never fully understood how the externalization algorithm worked so I'm not sure I'd be much of a help here.

If CJS will eventually be deprecated, I wonder whether it's "worth it" to test it.

I'd even argue that having a broken CJS support would be a good thing :-). On a more serious note: #8432.

@brillout what is going to be helpful is to make vite-plugin-ssr CI pass with the alphas, with the new defaults that don't use the scanner and plugin-commonjs. If there are breaking changes, you can create a vite-3 branch as SvelteKit did and temporarily update vite-ecosystem-ci to use it so we can get everyone green again.

@patak-dev Will do.
