Description

We are still using webpack 1.x for development on Handlebars. The update means that changes to the configuration files must be done. (Tests are failing after just bumping the version)

A pull-request should be made against the 4.x branch. I'll merge to master afterwards.

Research direction
Investigate the current webpack version (likely 1.x) and plan an upgrade to the latest stable version. Review the webpack configuration files (e.g., webpack.config.js) in the 4.x branch of the repository. Update configuration syntax for breaking changes, and fix any failing tests. Refer to the webpack migration guide for detailed steps.
