Compile CLI instead of shipping with babel runtime

See original GitHub issue

It’s a feature

Current Behavior

Haul CLI is shipping with babel-register compiling its code, therefore its boot time increases a lot

Expected Behavior

We can compile CLI code to specified target (e.g. Node 4) with babel and get rid of the slow runtime.

Unfortunately, that decision was a tradeoff we have made in order to transpile only required amount of code. That’s why we use babel-env to detect what is supported and use it instead.

In reality, there’s minimum amount of things we transpile on Node 6 and above - no need to include regenerator runtime etc.

There is a difference, which gets marginal after babel-register cache gets warm. Nevertheless worth exploring in near future
