options.loader.target fell through to undefined for the universal
target ("universal" / ["web", "node"] + ESM output), so loaders had no
way to tell what they were building for.

Also extend the universal coverage across module types: css/auto, css in an
async chunk, data: uri modules and the loader target in
target/universal-all-module-types, plus a new target/universal-html-entry
case covering an html entry with its webmanifest, assets and extracted css.


Note

Low Risk
Small default-resolution change in applyLoaderDefaults with explicit universal detection; behavior is covered by defaults and config-case tests.

Overview
For universal builds (ESM output with web + node, neither platform singled out), options.loader.target used to stay undefined, so loaders saw no this.target. applyLoaderDefaults now takes outputModule and sets the loader target to "universal" when both targetProperties.node and targetProperties.web are null.

Defaults snapshots are updated so universal configs expect loader.target: "universal" instead of undefined/"web".

Tests add coverage: a loader that exposes this.target in universal-all-module-types (plus css/auto, async css, data: modules), and a new universal-html-entry case for HTML entry, webmanifest, assets, and extracted CSS.

`options.loader.target` fell through to `undefined` for the universal
target (`"universal"` / `["web", "node"]` + ESM output), so loaders had no
way to tell what they were building for.

Also extend the universal coverage across module types: css/auto, css in an
async chunk, `data:` uri modules and the loader target in
`target/universal-all-module-types`, plus a new `target/universal-html-entry`
case covering an html entry with its webmanifest, assets and extracted css.
