options.chunks can support more matching formats, such as: RegExp, Function

[zwlijun]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In VUE, when I use multi-page mode, "chunks" are not injected into HTML.

Describe the solution you'd like
I checked the source code of the installation package and learned from the source code that the current filtering of chunks is an exact match. I hope I can improve the current method and add more matching methods, such as:

  filterChunks (chunks, includedChunks, excludedChunks) {
    return chunks.filter(chunkName => {
      // Skip if the chunks should be filtered and the given chunk was not added explicity
      if (Array.isArray(includedChunks) && includedChunks.indexOf(chunkName) === -1) { // chunks: Array
        return false;
      } else if (includedChunks instanceof RegExp) { // chunks: RegExp
        return includedChunks.test(chunkName);
      } else if (typeof includedChunks === 'function') { // chunks: Function
        return includedChunks(chunkName);
      }
      // if (Array.isArray(includedChunks) && includedChunks.indexOf(chunkName) === -1) {
      //   return false;
      // }

      // Skip if the chunks should be filtered and the given chunk was excluded explicity
      if (Array.isArray(excludedChunks) && excludedChunks.indexOf(chunkName) !== -1) { // chunks: Array
        return false;
      } else if (excludedChunks instanceof RegExp) { // chunks: RegExp
        return !excludedChunks.test(chunkName);
      } else if (typeof excludedChunks === 'function') { // chunks: Function
        return excludedChunks(chunkName);
      }
      // if (Array.isArray(excludedChunks) && excludedChunks.indexOf(chunkName) !== -1) {
      //   return false;
      // }
      // Add otherwise
      return true;
    });
  }

Need this too for Module Federation to work. I need to exclude remoteEntry.js chunk, but its name is something like RemoteFoo. I want to be able to exclude all chunks starting with Remote.

Maybe allow matching on asset filename too.

EDIT: Seems like https://www.npmjs.com/package/html-webpack-skip-assets-plugin is the fix for me.
