Make core JS work with a subset of jQuery

jQuery supports custom builds. The latest beta version supports removing the ready event, Sizzle selector and many other features.

Core JS should be able to run on a stripped down version of jQuery to allow knowledgable developer to build fast frontends more easily. I would like to ship jQuery with the ready event removed altogether to force contrib to use Drupal.behaviors, I've seen way to many jQuery.ready() during my audits to count.

What I'm proposing:

core JS with this jQuery build: grunt custom:-core/ready,-sizzle,-deprecated,-effects,-event/alias,-wrap,-ajax/jsonp
Drupal with that one: grunt custom:-core/ready

For info the size of unminified and minified for the different versions:

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
