Release plugin version 1.0.0

[EMH333]

I am planning to release v1.0.0 of this plugin once Svelte 5 is released. esbuild development seems to have mostly stabilized so I'm feeling okay moving forward without esbuild reaching v1.

Some changes that will likely happen:

• Minimum esbuild version set to v0.17.0 to simplify version support
• Minimum Svelte version set to v4 (or v5 depending on how breaking the changes are) to simplify version support
• Removal of overzealous cache option
• Add svelte condition automatically #188
• Stretch: Implement optional svelte-hmr support #24
• Stretch: Bump Svelte version to v4.2.1 to require fix: css sourcemap generation with unicode filenames sveltejs/svelte#9120

Would be useful if there was a pre-release of v1.0.0 at some point before Svelte 5 gets released.

Agreed, I intend to start a svelte-v5 branch in the near future. I also haven't been closely following Svelte 5 development, is there a timeline to release yet?

Nothing official yet, other than "early 2024", which at this point probably means Q2. The closest to a timeline is probably this myserious tweet, though 😆

Svelte 5 reached RC now 🎉 and I would be really happy to see this great package support it.

FWIW Rich offering a few pointers on migrating libs in the Svelte5 RC release announcement

Svelte 5 is now in the Release Candidate phase. This means that the design of the framework is largely settled, with no anticipated breaking changes between now and the stable release, and that the most egregious bugs have been stomped.

I'm starting a new Svelte project and I was hoping I would be able to start using Svelte 5... Hope esbuild-svelte adds support soon. 🙏

I've scoped out the changes for Svelte 5 and they seem fairly reasonable for simple support alongside Svelte 3 and 4. I'll look to get a non-breaking release supporting Svelte 5 out in the next few days
