This commit addresses an issue where jQuery and DataTables libraries (datatables.net and related extensions) were not functioning correctly when bundled with rspack. These libraries expect to be loaded in the global scope rather than as bundled modules, leading to initialization issues.
To resolve this, jQuery and all related DataTables libraries (datatables.net, datatables.net-buttons, datatables.net-buttons/js/buttons.html5, etc.) are marked as externals in the rspack configuration. This ensures they are treated as global dependencies, preventing conflicts and allowing proper initialization.

I left the webpack.config.js as well as the devDependencies in place for now.
We can remove them in a follow-up patch on this bug after testing it out.
To test:
1) Run js:build and js:build:prod
2) Note the build time
3) Apply patch
4) Run yarn install
5) Run js:build and js:build:prod again
6) Note the much faster build time
7) Extra credit: take a look at the ERM or preservations module and make sure everything works as expected.
8) Extra credit: run the cypress tests.
9) Sign off or give your opinion

Looks faster to me. Where webpack failed for me (Killed, error 137), this passed.
