Loosened dependency on loader-utils to allow security patches

Added CTA to try v4 before its imminent release

bump adjust-sourcemap-loader to address object-path issue

Features

• Use postcss parser by default. This is long overdue as the old rework parser doesn't cope with modern css.

• Lots of automated tests running actual webpack builds. If you have an interesting use-case let me know.

Breaking Changes

• Multiple options changed or deprecated.
• Removed file search "magic" in favour of join option.
• Errors always fail and are no longer swallowed.
• Processing absolute asset paths requires root option to be set.

Migrating

Initially set option engine: 'rework' for parity with your existing build. Once working you can remove this option or set engine: 'postcss' explicitly.

Retain keepQuery option if you are already using it.

The root option now has a different meaning. Previously it limited file search. Now it is the base path for absolute or root-relative URIs, consistent with css-loader. If you are already using it you can probably remove it.

If you build on Windows platform and your content contains absolute asset paths, then css-loader could fail. The root option here may fix the URIs before they get to css-loader. Try to leave it unspecified, otherwise (windows only) set to empty string root: ''.

Full file search is still the default, for backwards compatibility.

However you may now set attempts=1 to curtail the search to just the immediate file.

We have always ignored data: URIs. This change ignores explicit http: and https: URIs in the same way.
