Made a project template for Typescript + Parcel

[DaVince]

I was previously using the Webpack template for my project, but the sheer amount of setup and small issues I kept running into led me to looking into alternatives. I found Parcel, a zero-config bundler, and decided to create a project template around it.

https://github.com/DaVince/excaliburjs-parcel-template

Some notes:

- I've included a default index.html in the src folder, which Parcel uses as its entry point.

- I handle asset inclusion by using the parcel-plugin-static-files-copy plugin, which copies src/assets to dist(-dev)/assets if found. This plugin is configured under the "staticFiles" section in package.json.

- The assets are not transformed in any way.

- Source mapping is turned on and fully functional.

Hope this will be useful to anyone else wanting to quick start a project. :)

This is fantastic! Thanks for making this!

If it's alright with you, we may want to list this template with other getting started info in our documentation.

I have since noticed that Parcel isn't able to properly generate a sourcemap for Excalibur itself; it only does so for my game's own scripts. Parcel emits the following warning:

⚠️  Could not load existing sourcemap of "../node_modules/excalibur/dist/excalibur.min.js".

I'm considering submitting a report about it on the Parcel repo, but I also wanted to report this here, just in case someone might happen to know why it's saying this.

I updated this to use Excalibur 0.24.1 and it seems to have gotten rid of the sourcemap issue.
