Part of the e18e (https://e18e.dev) ecosystem cleanup effort. Remove axios, axios-proxy-builder, console.table, and rimraf from the npm installer template dependencies, replacing them with Node.js built-in modules. This reduces production dependencies from 42 packages to 1 (detect-libc). See: https://e18e.dev/docs/replacements/fetch.html - Replace axios HTTP client with node:https/node:http built-in modules - Implement redirect following (up to 5 hops) inline - Implement HTTP CONNECT proxy tunneling for HTTPS through HTTP proxies, with support for proxy authentication and NO_PROXY - Replace rimraf.sync() with fs.rmSync() (available since Node 14.14) - Remove dead console.table import (cTable was never referenced) - Regenerate npm-shrinkwrap.json (537 lines → 49 lines) - Update test snapshots

Good work! I was just about to open a PR for the same 😄 rimraf was 5MB of transitive deps removed alone (glob was the main offender) This PR closes #2224 |

This PR reduces installed size by 56%, 11M -> 4.8M |

The only reason why @PostHog depends on axios is because of
cargo-dist. We don't want that anymore, so... here's a contribution!Part of the e18e (https://e18e.dev) ecosystem cleanup effort.
