perf(@ngtools/webpack): use Webpack's built-in xxhash64 support

Webpack provides built-in support for creating hashes using the xxhash64 algorithm via a WebAssembly module.
This can be significantly faster than the previously used md5 algorithm.
The Webpack peer dependency has also been update to a minimum of 5.54.0 to ensure xxhash64 supported is available.
