Config dependency manager doesn't take into account all the hooks until "initialize".

Bug report

What is the current behavior? I use configuration dependencies to make sure that the plugins from the second config 'server' will always be executed after the first config 'client' output is emitted:

module.exports = [
  {
    name: 'client',
    plugins: [
      {
        apply: compiler => compiler.hooks.afterEmit.tap('Plugin1', _ => {
          console.log('Config 1: afterEmit')
        })
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    name: 'server',
    dependencies: ['client'],
    plugins: [
      {
        apply: compiler => compiler.hooks.afterResolvers.tap('Plugin2', _ => {
          // I picked the "afterResolvers" hook, because i will apply here the HtmlWebpackPlugin,
          // that is required to be applied before the "initialize" step.
          console.log('Config 2: afterResolvers')
        })
      }
    ]
  }
]

Doesn't work in the right order for the hooks like afterResolvers (or initialize), as seen in the console output:

Config 2: afterResolvers
Config 1: afterEmit

However, this works as expected starting from the beforeRun hook:

Config 1: afterEmit
Config 2: beforeRun

What is the expected behavior?

Config 1: afterEmit
Config 2: afterResolvers

@jantimon you can move html-webpack-plugin to official webpack-contrib org and we start to fixing most of problems instead keeping them, thank you
