Bundle mocha with webpack to extend functionality

[devhazem]

Prerequisites

• Checked that your issue hasn't already been filed by cross-referencing issues with the faq label
• Checked next-gen ES issues and syntax problems by using the same environment and/or transpiler configuration without Mocha to ensure it isn't just a feature that actually isn't supported in the environment in question or a bug in your code.
• 'Smoke tested' the code to be tested by running it outside the real test suite to get a better sense of whether the problem is in the code under test, your usage of Mocha, or Mocha itself
• Ensured that there is no discrepancy between the locally and globally installed versions of Mocha. You can find them with: node node_modules/.bin/mocha --version(Local) and mocha --version(Global). We recommend that you not install Mocha globally.

Description

I am working on Angular 2 with Cypress. I would like to extend mocha's functionality to add a custom metadata object inside it() and describe(). To do this, i obviously need to require mocha. Code: https://github.com/devhazem/mocha-test-options/blob/master/index.js

When doing this, I get the following error (even though the file does exist):
Error: Webpack Compilation Error C:/app/node_modules/mocha/lib/browser/growl.js Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '../../package' in 'C:\app\node_modules\mocha\lib\browser' resolve '../../package' in 'C:\app\node_modules\mocha\lib\browser' using description file: C:\app\node_modules\mocha\package.json (relative path: ./lib/browser) using description file: C:\app\node_modules\mocha\package.json (relative path: ./package)
How can I achieve this?

Steps to Reproduce

• Use https://github.com/devhazem/mocha-test-options as a dev dependency in any Angular 2 project
• declare module:
  declare module mocha-test-options: export function describe(title: string, metadata: object, fn); export function it(title: string, metadata: object, fn);
• import declared module

Expected behavior: should not throw any errors

Actual behavior:
Error: Webpack Compilation Error C:/app/node_modules/mocha/lib/browser/growl.js Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '../../package' in 'C:\app\node_modules\mocha\lib\browser' resolve '../../package' in 'C:\app\node_modules\mocha\lib\browser' using description file: C:\app\node_modules\mocha\package.json (relative path: ./lib/browser) using description file: C:\app\node_modules\mocha\package.json (relative path: ./package)

Reproduces how often: All the time

Versions

mocha: 8.2.0
typescript: "3.9.4"

would accept a PR which changes require('../../package') in lib/browser/growl.js to require('../../package.json')

@boneskull Please review the PR. The GUI tests seem to be stuck. They''ve been running now for almost 5 hours.
