Replace utils/console with @wordpress/warning and install babel plugin for code elimination

[sarayourfriend]

Problem

We've written our own simple console module that exports a silenced version of the console methods. However, the raw strings we're passing are still in the app even though they're being unused in production, meaning it's wasted bytes we're sending to the client.

Description

Let's switch to using the @wordpress/warning package and also enable the eslint rule to prevent using console directly. The @wordpress/warning package has a corresponding babel plugin that eliminates calls to it including the strings instead of just silencing them.

Alternatives

Implement our own version of this.
