Incompatible with Node 14

[csvan]

Installing webpack 4 on a Nodejs 14.1 system (latest stable as of writing this) yields:

webpack > watchpack > chokidar@2.1.8: Chokidar 2 will break on node v14+. Upgrade to chokidar 3 with 15x less dependencies.

Even though I am not sure I see any immediate issues, this should be addressed ASAP. Further, Chokidar3 is much, much smaller than Chokidar2 and would reduce the footprint of webpack as a whole.

Wasn't this fixed in #153?

You need to install latest chokidar manually for webpack@4, just run npm i -D chokidar

I have those warnings:

 npm install webpack@4                  

npm WARN notsup Unsupported engine for watchpack-chokidar2@2.0.0: wanted: {"node":"<8.10.0"} (current: {"node":"15.1.0","npm":"6.14.8"})
npm WARN notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: watchpack-chokidar2@2.0.0

I can run «npm i -D chokidar» what if I later, want to use, webpack@{ latest | next }
