Webpack 4.0 Support for better wasm intergration

[greenpdx]

What problem does this feature solve?

I am "rust-native-wasm-loader" to build and load wasm created by "wasm-bindgen". This development system creates es6 interface for wasm. With webpack 3, I have to play games with promises, async and yield , with webpack 4 it works out of the box.
Also webpack 4 is faster.

What does the proposed API look like?

Webpack 4 makes it easier to to load wasm libraries and builds are faster.

@greenpdx have a look at #836, specifically the final comment from Evan (yyx990803)

Closing since the answer is yes - will open a separate tracking issue when we try to finalize it.

We already have a WIP branch but at the moment webpack 4 still lacks updated documentation, and a few plugins we rely on from the ecosystem still have not been fully stabilized yet.

Our priority is to ship a stable, production ready setup as the default, so we want to make sure we only migrate when it is ready.

We already migrated to Webpack 4 since beta.10

I just tested the Vue Cli 3 rc5 again, using the UI. Looks AMAZING! But what I cannot find is a hint anywhere on which webpack is used. Am I missing something? Shouldn't that be shown somewhere?
