Description
I'm trying to use the library for the first time and the quickstart tutorial example for basic installation doesn't work as expected.
Importing the library like so:
```javascript
import mapboxgl from 'mapbox-gl'
```
Throws the error:
```
Uncaught SyntaxError: The requested module 'node_modules/mapbox-gl/dist/mapbox-gl.js' does not provide an export named 'default'
```
**mapbox-gl-js version**: 1.2.1
**browser**: Chrome
### Steps to Trigger Behavior
1. `yarn add mapbox-gl`
2. In a module: `import mapboxgl from 'mapbox-gl'`
3. Just open the page with chrome
### Link to Demonstration
Can't provide a JSBin since it needs to be installed as an npm package. I basically just followed your quickstart documentation [here](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/overview/#quickstart) with the module bundler option
### Expected Behavior
When loading the page, there should be no error in the console and the library could be used normally as stated in the docs.
### Actual Behavior
When loading the page, I get the error described above.

Research direction
Reproduce the quickstart module-bundler steps in Chrome using the import shown in the issue, then inspect the published dist/mapbox-gl.js entry and its exports. Done means the documented import loads without the default-export error and the library can be used normally.
