Fix syntax errors by re-enabling shorthand detection and skipping token asset minification

- Re-enabled isMethodShorthandFormat() detection (webpack emits modules without function keyword)
- Modules wrapped as __MINIFY_MODULE__({__DEFAULT_ID__(__params__){body}}); for shorthand format
- Assets with tokens skip minification to avoid syntax errors
- Added WebpackOutputFormats tests to verify code sent to minifier
- All tests passing with ZERO syntax errors
