Remove source/schedule.json

[XhmikosR]

This file is grabbed on build time for production.

Just add a preserve script for local development.

Fixes #2767

@nodejs/website

BTW we could probably remove the serve script and use npm start only, since right now npm start just calls serve. It just needs some doc updates to reflect this later.

[XhmikosR]

Hmm, actually we need the same script for build and build:deploy

[XhmikosR]

Alright, I added 2 approaches. Let me know which one you prefer. I also changed build:deploy to call the build script to reduce duplication.

The only thing that we might need to do is document that curl is needed to be installed and in PATH. Even Windows 10 has it, and *nix should also have it.

Note that this does impact offline serves.

[XhmikosR]

Well, of course :)

But as far as I see it

1. either we keep updating the file manually
2. have it as a prehook or something
3. this patch
4. live with it being outdated

The same applies for source/versions.json, but versions.json isn't used in build time AFAICT.

@XhmikosR Is this ready to land in your opinion?

[XhmikosR]

It is ready AFAICT, we just need to decide which of the two ways to go with.

Also do keep in mind that this will require an internet connection to develop. I don't consider this an issue, but there might be cases this could cause trouble for some people.

I'm gonna close this since we haven't come to an agreement. I will push my fork's branch to the upstream repo in case we need it later.
