Prepare for NodeJS 20 update - Client

[afalenski]

• [ ] Client runs on NodeJS 20 environment

[arne-z]

Client will build and run on node 20 (see https://github.com/SiLeBAT/fcl-client/pull/802) but shows a lot of warnings about outdated and deprecated dependencies we are using (see below). It would be beneficial to update or remove many of these dependencies.

npm warn deprecated rimraf@3.0.2: Rimraf versions prior to v4 are no longer supported
npm warn deprecated read-package-json@6.0.4: This package is no longer supported. Please use @npmcli/package-json instead.

Among other problems, our no longer supported angular version is causing us to be unable to update webpack to a newer version. The version we are using contains an XSS vulnerability.

While I believe we are currently not affected by this vulnerability, since we don't display and user generated content like comments/images (except the tracing data uploaded by our users?) we should still strive to update angular to a newer version. See: https://github.com/SiLeBAT/fcl-client/security/dependabot/85

Going through the above warnings:

rimraf 3.0.2 
read-package-json@6.0.4 
npmlog@6.0.2
are-we-there-yet@3.0.1
@npmcli/move-file@2.0.1
@babel

are required by angular

@humanwhocodes/config-array
@humanwhocodes/object-schema

required by ESLint

abab@2.0.6

required by angular and jest

inflight@1.0.6
glob

required by angular, eslint, and jest.

So we can't really individually update them.
