BREAKING: Bump to webpack 5; use Node.js >= 18

[legobeat]

• Based on Dependencies update #223 rebased on main
• Update webpack from 4 to 5
• Add support for Node.js 18,20
• Remove support for Node.js 16, which is EOL

webpack start seems to run fine locally for me but reviewers are encouraged to test manually.
