DX: Consider using NODE_PATH about dext HOT 4 CLOSED

It looks like NODE_PATH was deprecated a while back.

Leaving this open, until we've found a better option then.

I've been thinking of this and perhaps using webpack's resolve.root or resolve.moduleDirectories would work. An idea would be using the package name dext for absolute imports.

before

import Button from '../../../src/components/Button.js';

after

import Button from 'dext/app/renderer/src/components/Button.js'

Otherwise, we can split it based on the Electron process (main/renderer)

// source: app/main/themes
import themes from 'dext-main/themes';

// source: app/renderer/src/components
// - removes the "src" from the path string (side note: to be removed in the future)
import Button from 'dext-renderer/components/Button';

Since we are considering lerna when we are going to consolidate our packages, there is no need for this right now
