Issue description

No warning regarging accidenta webpack configuration settings that increase the bundle size dramatically (e.g. devtool: 'inline-source-map' )

Details

We were investigating a significant bundle increase. Looking at the bundle diagram, we could not find anything suspicious. It turns out someone added "devtool: 'inline-source-map'" into the prod webpack config by mistake. It would be nice if you could check for the presence of inline source maps.

Technical info

"webpack": "5.67.0",
"webpack-bundle-analyzer": "4.5.0"

Hi! That sounds like a neat thing to have. However, it would require the plugin to start also analyzing the webpack configuration itself which it doesn't yet do.

Unfortunately this means this feature is currently out-of-scope for webpack-bundle-analyzer.

The idea however sounds like a useful webpack plugin or tool to exist as its own project 😊
