Made Polycompiler Recursive (aka add bin/merge.py.js)

[lennyerik]

With minimal changes to the Javascript file (using require() instead of import and switching from modules to commonjs) and using the Python implementation from #3 we can make polycompiler able to recursively compile itself. The compiled file bin/merge.py.js can be executed using both python and nodejs.

Also, another thing I wanted to change is the actual polylang structure.
I think these two formats are nicer than using the original comment + lambda structure

eval(["console.log('Hello, js!')", "print('Hello, py!')"][(-1 % 2 + 1) >> 1])

or

eval(["print('Hello, py!')", "console.log('Hello, js!')"][1|0==2])

^ Should be done using eval("exec(...)") inside the python segment to allow loops and other multi-line syntax, and maybe decoding the actual code with base64 to ensure proper functionality (avoiding new-line/char escaping hell)

[Zvitorep]

@lennyerik ?

[Zvitorep]

with b64 encoding, this escaping logic could be avoided entirely

[Zvitorep]

would also fix #4

[lennyerik]

Yeah, that seems like a good idea if it fixes newline handling then

[Zvitorep]

Also, the compilers should strip comments IMO, to save up space

[lennyerik]

Yeah, that sounds good, although I can't really say anything on project direction as this is obviously not my project either... :P
But as far as I understand it, the scope of this polylang compiler isn't really to save on space by stripping comments and rather just to enable us to compile js and python files into one polyglot file. I would have argued that stripping comments, tree-shaking, etc. is clearly a feature for a minifier. There is nothing stopping you from running the python and JS code through a bundler, obfuscator, minifier, etc. before running it through this tool.
Regarding base64, I'm not sure, that just makes the code more unreadable imo. But feel free to implement these things in another branch and open a PR, this one was really just me trying the silly idea of compiling the compiler with itself. :)
