support webpack config for minification

[hongbo-miao]

Please add webpack config options for minification, thanks!

Right now the browser loads a 3.4MB index.js file:

you can try to run

npm run build:prod

It reduces index.js size to about 1MB

Welcome for better recommendations...

@mekya Any idea on how to reduce even more the bundle size? 1MB is super heavy especially on mobile.

[kuldeepkeshwar]

@TomerCohavi use code splitting (lazy-routes) and AOT

[mekya]

@TomerCohavi
one more addition: gzip, take a look at this blog post

@kuldeepkeshwar Thanks!
@mekya I've managed to reduce it to ~350kb with gzip. Thanks!

[hongbo-miao]

Thanks @mekya, I made a PR here for gzip.

For lazy load, track #175
For AOT, track #197
