Webpack5 support for create-react-app

[GregTheGreek]

When a user uses the create-react-app to make their React project, it comes pre bundled with webpack 5. The scope will be to ensure that web3.js can be successfully bundled using webpack 5 and within a React project made with the create-react-app.

This is an important one.
I loose days trying to fix it.

Hi @ArthurGerbelot we are waiting for create-react-app to upgrade to support webpack 5, once they do we will create support ASAP. Currently the latest version of create-react-app does work with web3.js so If you are facing a problem please create an issue.

Sorry if you are facing any issues
