Remove dupe Prettier config from ESLint config (#13234)
The ESLint config for the extension explicitly includes support for
Prettier. However, this is already being provided by our global ESLint
config (`@metamask/eslint-config`). Therefore there is no need to
include it here. In fact, this is causing weird issues where the `curly`
option is getting overridden somehow. After this change, these syntaxes
are invalid:

``` javascript
if (foo) return;
```

``` javascript
if (foo) return 'bar';
```

The MetaMask Build System

tl;dr yarn dist for prod, yarn start for local development

This directory contains the MetaMask build system, which is used to build the MetaMask Extension such that it can be used in a supported browser. From the repository root, the build system entry file is located at ./development/build/index.js.

Several package scripts invoke the build system. For example, yarn start creates a watched development build, and yarn dist creates a production build. Some of these scripts applies lavamoat to the build system, and some do not. For local development, building without lavamoat is faster and therefore preferable.

The build system is not a full-featured CLI, but rather a script that expects some command line arguments and environment variables. For instructions regarding environment variables, see the main repository readme.

Generally speaking, the build system consists of gulp tasks that either manipulate static assets or bundle source files using Browserify. Production-ready zip files are written to the ./builds directory, while "unpacked" extension builds are written to the ./dist directory.

Our JavaScript source files are transformed using Babel, specifically using the babelify Browserify transform. Source file bundling tasks are implemented in the ./development/build/scripts.js.

Locally implemented Browserify transforms, some of which affect how we write JavaScript, are listed and documented here.

Usage

Usage: yarn build <entry-task> [options]

Commands:
  yarn build prod       Create an optimized build for production environments.

  yarn build dev        Create an unoptimized, live-reloaded build for local
                        development.

  yarn build test       Create an optimized build for running e2e tests.

  yarn build testDev    Create an unoptimized, live-reloaded build for running
                        e2e tests.

Options:
  --build-type        The "type" of build to create. One of: "beta", "main"
                                                      [string] [default: "main"]
  --lint-fence-files  Whether files with code fences should be linted after
                      fences have been removed by the code fencing transform.
                      The build will fail if linting fails.
                      Defaults to `false` if the entry task is `dev` or
                      `testDev`, and `true` otherwise.
                                                   [boolean] [default: <varies>]
  --lockdown          Whether to include SES lockdown files in the extension
                      bundle. Setting this to `false` is useful e.g. when
                      linking dependencies that are incompatible with lockdown.
                                                       [boolean] [default: true]
  --policy-only       Stops the build after generating the LavaMoat policy,
                      skipping any writes to disk.
                                                       [boolean] [deafult: false]
  --skip-stats        Whether to refrain from logging build progress. Mostly
                      used internally.
                                                      [boolean] [default: false]
