Update to webpack-dev-server 4.7.0 or later

[MikeMcC399]

What would you like?

1. Update all uses of the npm module webpack-dev-server to minimum webpack-dev-server@4.7.0, preferably minimum webpack-dev-server@4.15.2.
2. Remove the direct use of the deprecated npm module @types/webpack-dev-server.

Why is this needed?

The npm module @types/webpack-dev-server is deprecated. webpack-dev-server@4.7.0 introduced types.

• webpack-dev-server 4.x shows peerDependencies "webpack": "^4.37.0 || ^5.0.0".
• webpack-dev-server 5.x requires peerDependencies "webpack": "^5.0.0".

Where used:

webpack-dev-server is used in 22 different package.json files

"@types/webpack-dev-server": "^4.0.0" is only specified in packages/web-config/package.json used in other workspaces.

• Resolution of issue Remove support for webpack-dev-server v3 inside @cypress/webpack-dev-server #29308, which is classified as a breaking change, is a prerequisite for this update request.
