Replace minifiers (css/js)

[niden]

The current minifiers for JS/CSS rely on a library by Douglas Crockford and its license is "BSD with restriction".

We need to remove this library and replace it with one that does not have restrictions or roll out a in-house implementation.

The library needs to be removed from v4 but the Phalcon classes will remain as they are, returning back (for now) the original file i.e. pretty much doing nothing. This is in order to keep SemVer happy when we do roll out the new minifying library (in future versions of v4)

Reference: #10118

With all the current tools (webpack, grunt, less, sass. typescript etc) that are available noways I'm wondering if this is still a wanted feature in the framework or that it should be removed from the framework.

I couldn't agree more with the comments in this thread. Focus efforts on 7.4 and 8.x
