Hi Jonas,

This affects terser-webpack-plugin which affects webpack 5. This patch 
relates to *terser-webpack-plugin* (not terser itself) to circumvent 
breaking changes in terser 5. The current terser-webpack-plugin has been 
adapted to use terser 5 while the version available to it is terser 4.

The patch makes sure terser 4 continues to work with the package while 
not preventing terser 5 also.

Thanks!
