Remove fsevents from optionalDependencies

See original GitHub issue

Is there a reason why fsevents is in the optional dependencies at the react-scripts package? It’s never used.

I looked into this a little more. Chokidar has actually had it as an optionalDependency for a long time, but we added it here for a different reason back when we bundled everything together. We stopped bundling everything together in #1068, but the optionalDependency entry stuck around. So I think it’s ok if we remove it?

react-scripts transitively depends on chokidar through webpack I think.

But maybe you’re right, chokidar added it as an optional dependency in the last year, so it’s possible we don’t need to specify it anymore. I’ll look into it soon.
