Define Package Exports in package.json

See original GitHub issue

In Node v13, package exports were introduced as an official way to define sub-paths/modules within your package: https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#esm_package_exports

in the past, Preact has defined sub-package.json’s within the package, to represent each sub-package so that node’s resolution logic would automatically load the right files within them. While that should continue to work (I think) this is the new, “blessed” way forward.

I’m getting ready to enable this for Pika CDN, and would like some packages to test against. If Preact enabled this, we could give your users support for preact/hooks, preact/debug, etc. on our CDN.

Hey @FredKSchott

I implemented a PR with this, this can be used with pika.dev so should be testable already, thanks for all you are doing in the community! Really admire your work!
