fix(plugin-legacy): don't force terser on non-legacy (fix vitejs#6266)

This fixes two misbehaviors of the legacy plugin:

1. Respect {minify: false} for legacy assets.
2. Don't inflict es2019/terser on non-legacy chunks.

For the first problem, we could have fixed by checking for false in
viteLegacyPlugin.config(). Unfortunately that would have left the second
problem unsolved. Without adding significant complexity to the config,
there's no easy way to use different minifiers in the build depending on
the individual chunk.

So instead we include terserPlugin() whenever minify is enabled, even
true or 'esbuild', then check the actual configuration in the plugin.
This allows the legacy plugin to inject its special override, leaving
all the non-legacy stuff intact and uncomplicated.
