Alter build process to rely on canaries only

With the react-sdk and js-sdk having their `npm start`s split out (as per https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/2175 and https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/pull/742) we can trigger an initial build ourselves and start the watcher afterwards. This canary approach has a very slight speed increase over serially running all the commands as the watcher can be started as early as possible.

This all can be improved and potentially eliminated with a bit more planning, however: https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/7386
