upgrade to webpack 5

[Brandontam29]

I think it would be good to update all the packages used in webpack as a lot of the packages are still using a version of node that will exit lts.

For example i couldn't insert svg file in my react component, I changed the webpack file. Please update the webpack part. Also, sass it's not possible to include. I think that is the problem of webpack. anyway i didn't find the solution to use sass in my react components.

We updated the webpack version & config of the boilerplate in #155 .

To update an existing library, you can copy the new config: https://github.com/plotly/dash-component-boilerplate/blob/master/%7B%7Bcookiecutter.project_shortname%7D%7D/webpack.config.js

• replace: '{{cookiecutter.project_shortname}}-shared' at Line 100 with you project name -shared,
• update versions in package.json, you can refer to the dev dependencies in: https://github.com/plotly/dash-component-boilerplate/blob/master/%7B%7Bcookiecutter.project_shortname%7D%7D/package.json
• delete package-lock.json & node_modules
• run npm i then npm run build to confirm every works.
