Laravel Mix Asset Versioning

[ericp-mrel]

I'm finding the new laravel mix integration kind of interesting and was wondering if there are any plans on adding support for asset versioning. This would allow CSS/JS/images to bust the cache when they change since it's pretty common to have these types of files cached with a long cache lifetime.

It would be handy if there could be a mix twig filter added for this feature which would then look at the theme's mix-manifest.json file.
Example:

<link href="{{ 'assets/css/theme.css'|mix }}" rel="stylesheet"/>

I've actually created my own custom plugin which integrates Laravel mix versioning using twig filter, so it would be nice if this could be added to Winter CMS so that's one less plugin I have to maintain in all my sites.

Sure, I'd welcome a PR to add mix() as a twig filter / function. Can be located in the System module. Target the wip/1.2 branch please 😉

@LukeTowers @ericp-mrel I'll add this shortly - I'm gonna need it for my own project. Gonna do a couple of QOL fixes for Snowboard at the same time.

@ericp-mrel @jaxwilko has done the hard bit of supporting mix manifest files in 7b181c2, feel free to submit a PR for a | mix filter.
