Update webpack to v5 about lightning-browser-extension HOT 6 CLOSED

Seems we'll need to fork https://github.com/nitram509/macaroons.js & https://github.com/Tierion/lsat-js due to incompatibilities. Webpack 5 has removed automatic polyfill loading and it seems we need to add fallback resolve statements into those modules.

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'crypto' in '/home/korny/Development/WEBLN/lightning-browser-extension/node_modules/lsat-js/dist'

BREAKING CHANGE: webpack < 5 used to include polyfills for node.js core modules by default.
This is no longer the case. Verify if you need this module and configure a polyfill for it.

If you want to include a polyfill, you need to:
        - add a fallback 'resolve.fallback: { "crypto": require.resolve("crypto-browserify") }'
        - install 'crypto-browserify'
If you don't want to include a polyfill, you can use an empty module like this:
        resolve.fallback: { "crypto": false }

UPDATE: fixed that

the not so well documented alias and installing the polyfills manually solved this.

the extension reloader plugin seems to be the issue:
it also seems that this package is not really maintained. wondering if there is an alternative we can use.
