Replacing is wrong if values or regexps contain $ character.

Description

Hello!

I tried to use the plugin for replacing $$TEST$$ string in the code. The plugin didn't change anything.

Config example:

const ReplacePlugin = require('webpack-plugin-replace');
module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    new ReplacePlugin({
      exclude: [
        'foo.js',
        /node_modules/,
        filepath => filepath.includes('ignore')
      ],
      values: {
        '$$TEST$$': 'FOO',
      }
    })
  ]
};

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported configuration with a replacement key containing $$TEST$$, then inspect the plugin's replacement handling and any existing tests. Done means values or regular expressions containing $ are replaced correctly without changing behavior for ordinary values.
