workerize-loader and webpack 5

[3xtr4t3rr3str14l]

The workerize-loader plugin that we are using does not support webpack 5 (pkg issue tracked here: https://github.com/developit/workerize-loader/issues/77). So we have to use webpack 4 for now. It also doesn't look like the package is being maintained much as this issue has been outstanding for a while despite there being 2 PRs in the package repo to solve the issue.

We could: 1) wait for the workerize-loader issue to be resolved 2) find a fork of workerize-loader that supports webpack 5 3) replace workerize-loader with something else that does the same thing 4) ???
