Bring all packages up to date.

• Removed prettier and eslint webpack plugins
• Removed ESLint rules for formatting prettier
• Ensured public folder assets work in CSS background images and production build

• Removed cssnano, url-loader, file-loader, updated several other dependencies
• Update webpack-dev-server to webpack serve
