Change output directory name request

[kacianoghelere]

Hi there! I'll try to be brief.

Can you consider changing the kitsu-core output directory from lib/ to dist/? We are using it with react native and our build tool is recompiling the code, causing crashes and others errors. It took almost two days to find the problem cause and it happens because the builder ignores everything inside dist/ directories, but it doesn't work the same way with the lib/ dir.

I know that we could try to fix it on our side but I think that, by simply changing the output directory name, a lot of people could be spared from the headaches we had.

Hey @kacianoghelere, I can definitely do this to avoid the recompilation issues you're having withkitsu-core in React Native.

Fortunately due to the exports feature added in Node 12+ this can be a seamless behind the scenes change instead of a major breaking change, so I can safely fix this on 9.x and the alpha 10.x releases 👍

Seems I never set up the exports from the root directory and instead on lib/*.{m?js}, so this will only be available on the alpha 10.x release

Hi @wopian, many thanks man! We're using the 10.x alpha version in our app, so we really appreciate it.

Released 10.0.0-alpha.9.
