Bugfixes

fix problem when assigning global to a variable
fix crash when using experiments.outputModule and loaderContext.importModule with multiple chunks
avoid generating progress output before the compilation has started (ProgressPlugin)
fix handling of non-static-ESM dependencies with using TLA and HMR in the same module
