Environment
Provide version numbers for the following components (information can be retrieved by running tns info in your project folder or by inspecting the package.json of the project):
CLI: 6.7.4
Cross-platform modules: 6.5.8
Android Runtime: 6.5.1
iOS Runtime: 6.5.1
Plugin(s):
Node.js: 12.16.3
[ ] Please, attach your package.json and webpack.config.js as these configurations are usually critical for investigating issues with webpack
Describe the bug
When using --env.uglify, Terser Plugin minifies class and function names. As a result, NativeScript's $parents[] references inside XML files are broken since they use component class names to get distant parent (e.g. $parents["Frame"]).
All in all, after minimizing, 'Frame' will be called 'e' but $parents[] will still try to look for 'Frame'.
To Reproduce
Add $parents["typeName"] references inside page view.
Execute 'tns run --env.uglify'
Expected behavior
Class and Function names should be kept as is and $parents[] references should work properly.

Additional context In the past, I submitted a bug report regarding this issue in NS repository but I didn't know what the cause of it is. https://github.com/NativeScript/NativeScript/issues/8541
If the following properties are set in TerserPlugin, inside 'terserOptions' and 'compress' objects, problem will be solved.
