Decouple @trpc/server from node

[KATT]

Related to the next branch.

---

Currently, @trpc/server is using a lot of Node-based dependencies, i.e. url, http, etc.

It would be great to decouple @trpc/server completely from a node in order to easier deploy tRPC to i.e. CF workers (#1375).

Proposal

Please DM me on Discord before addressing this, there might be better implementations ideas, below are my first thoughts.

Rough steps:

• Rename @trpc/server to @trpc/node (and update all examples, etc)
• Create a new package, @trpc/core
• Gradually extract all non-node-specific stuff into a package named @trpc/core or similar
  • This requires a lot of refactoring as there are a lot of functions that like resolveHTTPResponse should still exist as part of @trpc/core but with a slightly different signature.
• For ease of installation, @trpc/node could have a hard dependency (rather than a peerDep) of @trpc/core and export * from '@trpc/core'
• Make a CF example in the ./examples folder
• Make deno.land-module
• This should be done in the next-branch

Payment

I'll pay $200 if someone addresses it. If you think that isn't enough, feel free to contact me. Payment will be through GitHub sponsors - see #1599.

Closing this as we've now been able to deploy on CF Workers and Deno
