fix(webpack): support standard webpack config with @nx/webpack:dev-server

[jaysoo]

This PR brings the standard webpack config behavior from @nx/webpack:webpack to @nx/webpack:dev-server. Previously, the dev-server executor only worked with our own withNx and other composable plugin functions. With the change from this PR, users can export a standard webpack configuration as shown in the new e2e test.

Current Behavior

Dev-server results in an error like:

 - configuration should be an object:
   object { amd?, bail?, cache?, context?, dependencies?, devServer?, devtool?, entry?, experiments?, extends?, externals?, externalsPresets?, externalsType?, ignoreWarnings?, infrastructureLogging?, loader?, mode?, module?, name?, node?, optimization?, output?, parallelism?, performance?, plugins?, profile?, recordsInputPath?, recordsOutputPath?, recordsPath?, resolve?, resolveLoader?, snapshot?, stats?, target?, watch?, watchOptions? }
   -> Options object as provided by the user.

ValidationError: Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialized using a configuration object that does not match the API schema.
 - configuration should be an object:
   object { amd?, bail?, cache?, context?, dependencies?, devServer?, devtool?, entry?, experiments?, extends?, externals?, externalsPresets?, externalsType?, ignoreWarnings?, infrastructureLogging?, loader?, mode?, module?, name?, node?, optimization?, output?, parallelism?, performance?, plugins?, profile?, recordsInputPath?, recordsOutputPath?, recordsPath?, resolve?, resolveLoader?, snapshot?, stats?, target?, watch?, watchOptions? }
   -> Options object as provided by the user.

Expected Behavior

Dev-server should work.
