Reduce celocli size

[barbaraliau]

Expected Behavior

Should be able to install celocli on AWS t2.micro instance (free trial), or other similarly specced VMs

Current Behavior

VM crashes during celocli installation. RAM might be the issue.
yarn process halts and then the VM is unreachable by ssh until reboot

Proposed Solution

• Determine minimum spec requirements goal for celocli
• Reduce dependencies
• Cut new release

Open Questions

• What dependencies can be cut?
• Does this depend on ContractKit modularization (I'm guessing yes)?
• What is a reasonable spec requirement?
• Should we include this in M7 CLI epic?

Yah I think this should definitely be addressed for the cli, thanks for making the issue!

How much would the contractkit modularization solve this? From what I see on the modularization PR, seems like the cli would need access to most of the new proposed packages, such as extenders, communication, wallet libraries, etc, so not sure how much bundle size would be reduced from that front.
@gastonponti do you have more information here?

[gastonponti]

@medhak1 you are right. It basically uses all the packages, so unless we decide to for example, remove the HSM wallet as a possibility, probably this PR won't impact on the cli size

[gastonponti]

For example, if we could think more of the things required to be use in these kind of instances, and maybe make a light-cli, with just the basics, and supporting only one wallet.

I personally experienced this but it'd be great that someone else confirms it too.

[barbaraliau]

I think a celocli-lite version would be great. It would solve a lot of the bundle size issues.
