Include ScalaJS support

[DamianReeves]

So os-lib has always been cool, but now that it is a member of the Scala toolkit, the fact that the library doesn't support ScalaJS seems like a wart. It would be great of ScalaJS support could be added.

And yes, I know that many file and process things won't work in the browser but NodeJS and deno are out there.

Yeah. Scala.js support would be great. We gladly accept pull requests adding it.

Is there a willingness to accept multiple PRs for this effort?

I would imagine, some parts may be fairly straightforward (i.e. Path related operations) and some others requiring different levels of effort.
In my mind I see 3 main themes here: path, file I/O, and process support.

I hope so (commenting as an observer not participant) — as long as the first PR merged adds a Scala.js section to the documentation that's clear about what works or doesn't.

Of course. I thought, I said exactly that in the above quote.

That's fine as long as we document it. The PRs should be clear about their draft state, so that users know whether to expect stable or unstable Scala.JS API. Also some test coverage is required to maintain it.
