Webpack 5.107 supports the #__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ annotation from the compiler-notations-spec, letting authors mark function declarations as side-effect-free so calls can be tree-shaken when their return value is unused. Adds a new subsection in the tree shaking guide right after the existing /*#__PURE__*/ section, with the caveat that propagation is currently intra-module only. Refs: webpack/webpack#20775
