This removes the usage of NodePolyfillWebpackPlugin which is used in
The node-polyfill-webpack-plugin is used to polyfill Buffer amongst other things however i think it's a little bit backwards looking: most of our code works now without a lot of polyfilling, except for Buffer. I think removing it makes it more clear what needs polyfills, and that is basically just buffer.
Secondary to this PR, it can be removed from demos if possible

It might be that a specific line that polyfills Buffer might be needed, but I found our code actually works even without it (which i am not sure how the buffer code is working without that polyfill, may need investigating)
