Hashed chunk ids

Feature request

What is the expected behavior?

Hashed chunk ids

What is motivation or use case for adding/changing the behavior?

After this PR we have got better long-term caching "out of the box", but we have many chunks and they have numeric ids and these ids changes very often and it still affects long-term caching.

Named chunk ids is too large

How should this be implemented in your opinion?

Clone HashedModuleIdsPlugin with the same login and adopt it for chunks. It looks like an easy solution...

Are you willing to work on this yourself?
yes

There is a open card for this in the webpack 5 project.

Better skip the hashed chunk ids and use the deterministic chunk ids algorithm similar to modules.

deterministic chunk ids is based on named chunk ids + the hashing part.

Are you about clone the DeterministicModuleIds and adopt it for chunks?

[sokra]

Currently not, but this is planned. But you can go ahead and send a PR.
