Enable `"hot": "only"` scenario

[ziacik]

• [ ] I'd be willing to implement this feature (contributing guide)

Description

webpack-dev-server has this schema for hot:

    {
      "anyOf": [
        {
          "type": "boolean",
          "cli": {
            "negatedDescription": "Disables Hot Module Replacement."
          }
        },
        {
          "enum": ["only"]
        }
      ],
      "description": "Enables Hot Module Replacement.",
      "link": "https://webpack.js.org/configuration/dev-server/#devserverhot"
    }

But hmr in web/dev-server only allows a boolean, and setting liveReload: false does not prevent the page from full reloading if hot reload is not possible.

Motivation

Sometimes we want to only allow hot reload but prevent reload as a fallback.

Suggested Implementation

When hmr is set to true and liveReload is set to false, translate it to hot: "only" in webpack config.

Alternate Implementations

Enable hmr: "only" in schema.
