Add support for customizing babel configuration

See original GitHub issue

Add support for specifying babel presets and plugins, so users can override the default ones.

Implementation notes:

Potentially auto-load a .babelrc in the project root. Keep in mind that a user could have an older version of babel installed for their project that isn’t compatible with Cypress’s version.

Support having a .babelrc in the cypress directory that is preferred over one in the project root. Also, explore if there’s a need/use case for specifying the preset/plugins in cypress.json under a babel namespace.

Write documentation detailing the current defaults and how to override them.

Chiming in with my use-case. I have some stage features of JS that aren’t available in Cypress (like Object Spread). Would love to have the ability to specify a custom .babelrc 😃
