fix(plugin): use compiler.webpack when possible

[sevilyilmaz]

Applies the fix (f7ee30b) that resolved the same issue on v15.

Context

When there are different versions of Webpack used in a repo (for example, one is added to the repo and the other one is coming from a node module) Webpack loses its reference to the Compiler object. The plugins no longer need to require('webpack') in Webpack 5. It's recommended to use compiler.webpack where possible.

Additional

I had to use ts-ignore because the branch uses webpack@4 types.
