Description

When I try to use webpack-obfuscator with a project created by Vue CLI, it throws an exception ```TypeError: Cannot read property 'tap' of undefined```.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Create an app using Vue CLI as described at https://cli.vuejs.org/
```
vue create my-project
# OR
vue ui
```
(select vue3+babel preset)

2) Install webpack-obfuscator ```npm i --save-dev webpack-obfuscator javascript-obfuscator```
3) Add vue.config.js to the project root
```
//vue.config.js
const WebpackObfuscator = require('webpack-obfuscator');

module.exports = {
configureWebpack: {
plugins: [
new WebpackObfuscator({
rotateStringArray: true
})
]
}
}
```
4) Try to build the project ``` vue-cli-service build```

These steps produce the following error:
```PS C:\Users\user\Desktop\test\test> vue-cli-service build

✔ Building for production...

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with the Vue CLI steps and configuration shown in the issue, then inspect dist/plugin/index.js at line 25 where the tap error occurs. Run vue-cli-service build against the sample Vue 3 project; done means the build completes without the reported TypeError.
