webpack-cli v4 doesn't have --profile option

[bradtgmurray]

Issue description

webpack-cli v4 doesn't seem to have a --profile option anymore when working with webpack 4, and the --profile option with webpack 5 seems to have changed definition.

https://github.com/webpack/webpack-cli/blob/master/packages/webpack-cli/README.md

  --profile                                                   Capture timing information for each module.

Is there an updated way to capture a json stats file that we need to update the README.md of this project with?

I've gotten it to work again by swapping --profile --json to --stats=detailed --json but I'm not sure if that's the canonical way of doing it.
