Build error when using a WebAssembly module

[mstange]

Webpack 4 supports modules written in WebAssembly. Here's a commit that adds such a module to the offline-plugin-pwa example:

https://github.com/mstange/offline-plugin-pwa/commit/a4b2fdf232bc2e1711a2c1c8c5639615fe4fe638

However, when using offline-plugin on a project with WebAssembly modules, the offline-plugin build fails:

$ npm run build

> pwa-conf-offline-plugin@1.0.0 build /Users/mstange/code/offline-plugin-pwa
> webpack --log-level=debug

You can reproduce this by checking out the add-wasm branch in my offline-plugin-pwa fork and running npm install && npm run build.

It looks like loader-utils getHashDigest is calling hash.update with an ArrayBuffer, which is not expected.

Here's the offending call to getHashDigest in offline-plugin: https://github.com/NekR/offline-plugin/blob/4553b5f5a6a02626b1985db2eb03f1f3622b859a/src/index.js#L480-L497

There doesn't seem to be documentation on the expected types of the buffer argument to getHashDigest, but I guess we now know that it accepts the same types as hash.update, which include TypedArray and Buffer but not ArrayBuffer.

So wrapping the buffer in setHashesMap should work:

let source = compilation.assets[key].source();
if (source instanceof ArrayBuffer) {
  // This is the case for WebAssembly modules.
  // getHashDigest doesn't accept ArrayBuffers, so we need to wrap the buffer into something
  // that it does support, e.g. a Buffer or a TypedArray.
  source = new Uint8Array(source);
}

 const hash = loaderUtils.getHashDigest(source, 'sha1');

I have a wip fix for this but had some trouble with the tests... my test was passing even without this fix and I didn't understand why. I can send a PR in a bit.
