[Snyk] Security upgrade webpack from 1.15.0 to 2.2.0

[saurabharch]

Snyk has created this PR to fix 1 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• fixtures/packaging/webpack-alias/dev/package.json
• fixtures/packaging/webpack-alias/dev/yarn.lock

Note for zero-installs users

If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the .yarn/cache/ directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to run yarn to update the contents of the ./yarn/cache directory.
If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.

Vulnerabilities that will be fixed with an upgrade:

Code Review

This pull request upgrades the webpack dependency to address a security vulnerability. However, the upgrade to a new major version of webpack (v1 to v2) introduces breaking changes in the configuration. The current changes do not include the necessary updates to the webpack configuration file (fixtures/packaging/webpack-alias/dev/config.js), which will likely lead to build failures.

[gemini-code-assist]

Upgrading webpack from v1 to v2 is a major version change and introduces several breaking changes in its configuration. For instance, resolve.root (used in fixtures/packaging/webpack-alias/dev/config.js) was removed in Webpack 2 and replaced by resolve.modules. This PR only updates the webpack version in package.json but does not include the necessary updates to config.js to ensure compatibility with Webpack 2. This oversight will likely cause the build process to fail.
