Support option resolveLoader

With this option, you can specify the resolving strategy for each loader.

For example, if you are developing a loader and want to showcase its usage from a user's perspective in an example, you can write:

module.exports = {
  resolveLoader: {
    alias: {
      'amazing-loader': require.resolve('path-to-your-amazing-loader'),
    },
  },
};

Then, in the example code, you can write:

require('!!amazing-loader!./amazing-file.js');
