Updated #1871 to remove lodash

[sidharthv96]

@joliss did extensive work to remove the lodash dependency.

• https://github.com/Chevrotain/chevrotain/pull/1871

We are trying to replace Jison with a Chevrotain based parser (langium) at MermaidJS. As our primary use case is browser based, package size is a major issue for us. lodash is also causing many build time warnings when built with vite.
