### Expected behavior
When building an app with optional dependencies and the Vite plugin, optional dependencies are included in the build output.
### Actual behavior
Optional dependencies are excluded from the output.
### Steps to reproduce
Build a project using https://github.com/lovell/sharp, which has optional dependencies. They will not be in the packaged node_modules, and so their native binaries can not be copied.
### Additional information
Adding them as dependencies is a poor solution, since they are platform-specific.
