 After [41376] for #12423, it would be ideal if the CodeMirror bundling
 logic (via browserify) could be added as part of core. In this way, the
 external dependencies (CodeMirror and the linter linraries) can be managed
 by NPM. For now, just the minified bundles are being included.

 The logic used in the Better Code Editing plugin for creating the bundles
 can be seen here: https://github.com/WordPress/better-code-
 editing/pull/92/files

 Depends on #40894 which replaces Browserify with Webpack in core.

 Additionally, the linters are currently being included as separate assets.
 They are not being minified, other than they are already minified as
 distributed. These could either benefit from additional uglification or
 bundling with codemirror if they are not going to be enqueued separately.
 The same goes for the `htmlhint-kses` script.
