Anders Kaseorg b474fa0e37 webpack: Generalize debug-require-webpack-plugin interface.
Now the caller simply imports the debug ‘require’ function as a
module, deciding for itself how to expose it and with what name (in
our case, we expose it as ‘require’ with expose-loader).  Also, remove
a stray console.log.

Anders Kaseorg 46e14d1c40 webpack: Expose a version of require() for use in the browser console.
This adds a global require() function that makes JS modules accessible
to the browser console without adding them to the global window
object:

» const typeahead = require("./static/shared/js/typeahead");
» typeahead.popular_emojis
Array(6) [ "1f44d", "1f389", "1f642", "2764", "1f6e0", "1f419" ]

The list of known modules is exposed via the keys of require.ids
object.

This will allow us to migrate more modules to ES6 without losing
access to this debugging functionality.

I’ll probably upload this plugin to NPM at some point, but I figured
I’ll let it bake in-tree first.
