This replaces the homegrown copy-watching of non-language assets in
copy-res.ts
with https://github.com/webpack-contrib/copy-webpack-plugin.The only notable difference to the custom script is that the assets are not output into the
webapp
directory when running the app through the development server. They're still served though. So I think we probably don't care.Unfortunately, we can't use the latest version of the plugin until we upgrade to Webpack 5.
This change is marked as an internal change (Task), so will not be included in the changelog.
