HelloReact - Setup Development Environment w/ Babel and Webpack

Part 1 of the HelloReact Series - Setting Up Our Development Environment with Babel and Webpack.

Many guides and recommendations for setting up Javascript development environments I come across feel overly complicated and bloated (especially in the React world). We can complicate things later when and **if** needed. Let's keep things simple for now.

I want to build a React app.
I want to use JSX and ES6 features.
I want to use either CommonJS or ES6 Modules.
I want all of this with minimal configuration/setup.

Combining Babel and Webpack gives me all of these things.
