Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
As of [5.41.0](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.41.0), webpack will output `.mjs` by default when experimental ECMAScript modules support is enabled. You can see a demo [here](https://stackblitz.com/edit/node-axut71?file=webpack.config.js).
I'm wondering if `html-webpack-plugin` can support customizing the `type` attribute of `script` element:
```js
```
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Add `type='module'` to `script` automatically when users enable experimental ESM support in `webpack.config.js`.
```js
module.exports = {
experiments: {
outputModule: true,
},
};
```
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Add a `type` option so users can customize as they wish.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the plugin generates the script element and compare that output with the webpack.config.js example using experiments.outputModule. Define whether completion means automatic type="module" handling, a user-configurable type option, or both, then verify the generated HTML.
