Plugin must respect the 'target': 'node' for SSR setup of vue-cli and 'externals'

[Arsync]

Example config of SSR setup: vue-cli-ssr-example and vue-cli3-ssr-project.

There is important things:

configureWebpack: () => ({
  target: TARGET_NODE ? 'node' : 'web',
  node: TARGET_NODE ? undefined : false,
  entry: {
    [target]: [`./src/entry-${target}`]
  },
  output: {
    libraryTarget: TARGET_NODE
      ? 'commonjs2'
      : undefined
  }
  // ...
}

And dll-plugin must not extract (or do it somehow else) vendors when running in server-side mode - there is one solid file as the server-entry result: 'vue-ssr-server-bundle.json'. No 'dll_library' variable. Maybe it can work as 'webpack-node-externals' - packages (except the whitelist of forced-transpilation, respect the externals property of webpack config) on the server-side must be taken directly from node_modules folder. It's all there.

Stack trace:

Temporary solution is to set open: !TARGET_NODE && IS_DEVELOPMENT to disable plugin on server side.
