Re: PGAdmin4 2.1 OSX bloat

As for where all that bloat is going, I took a minute of digging and found
something interesting.

/Volumes/pgAdmin\ 4/pgAdmin\
4.app/Contents/Resources/web/pgadmin/static/js/generated/.cache/hard-source

This one, single, "invisible" .cache directory in the application bundle is
about 300MB by itself, or half of the total .app size.

I suspect this is the most egregious thing, assuming that folder only is either
needed at development or packaging time or can be generated by PgAdmin at runtime.
