fix: allow version 9 of the babel-loader peer dependency

[arnaugiralt]

• Closes 24435

Additional details

There is a dependency issue between babel-loader and @cypress/webpack-preprocessor. The installation of this newer babel-loader version should not cause package install issues. The user should be able to install both v8 and v9 of @babel/loader.

Steps to test

Just forcing an install with babel-loader@^9 is enough to test that everything works.
Since the main breaking change in v9 is dropping Webpack v4 and @cypress/webpack-preprocessor already allows for v5, I think it is safe to allow this change. If necessary, we could also update the @babel/core peer dependency to ^7.12, but babel-loader already has it declared as a peer dependency, so as you see fit.

Change makes sense, we don't want to block users if they want to use newer deps.

LGTM!

[mike-plummer]

Thanks for the contribution!

[ZachJW34]

Holding off on merging as we have a planned patch release to fix a regression with 12.4.0. Once we get that out I'll merge this!

[arnaugiralt]

Hi team, thanks for the merge. Any ETA on a release for the @cypress/webpack-preprocessor npm package?

[ZachJW34]

@arnaugiralt It should be released with the next green develop build! (I'm assuming you're using @cypress/webpack-preprocessor in it's npm form which should be released automatically)
