Dropping jQuery for Vanilla JS and publishing on NPM

[a-kriya]

I recently migrated a WordPress site to a static one and re-wrote a large chunk of modern-footnotes.js in vanilla JS. It was fairly straight-forward and is working well. I can share the source here if there is interest in migrating. Having this plugin available on NPM without jQuery would make this viable for many other projects.

@a-kriya That would be great if you can share the file here! It would be nice to remove jQuery as a dependency so this can translate easier to platforms outside of WordPress.

GitHub does not accept a JS file as an attachment, so it's zipped: mfn.js.zip

A majority of the file was translated line-by-line, but I removed some event handlers. The source I used was from August, so it also does not have the changes from the latest accessibility improvements commit.

Check it out and let me know if I can help with anything else.

Thank you @a-kriya !
