Request: Support webpack 4

[ChangJoo-Park]

as you already know, webpack 4 is more faster than 3.
I tried to upgrade webpack 3 to 4, but I stuck in stylelint-webpack-plugin

Have you tried to upgrade webpack?

Thanks for opening the issue. I upgrade the dependencies from time to time, but I haven't tried out Webpack 4 yet. From my experience with upgrade from 2 to 3, it's better to wait for a bit for the Webpack team to roll out patches and loader developers to migrate, and maybe let the guys working on the official template do the migration first. JaKXz/stylelint-webpack-plugin/issues/137 will definitely have to be closed before we can upgrade on this end.

Very curious what the impact of the upgrade will be on build times. A complete setup like this, not to mention a real project with a larger codebase, will start to see longer build times and there's not really a way around this. From my experience SCSS is the biggest culprit and I wouldn't expect the upgrade to change that, but I'm sure there are other areas to optimize as well.
