Dependency updates 2024-07

Time to bump the dependencies, since it's been a while.

When doing npm install with the current deps in package.json, I get these warnings:

npm install
npm warn deprecated inflight@1.0.6: This module is not supported, and leaks memory. Do not use it. Check out lru-cache if you want a good and tested way to coalesce async requests by a key value, which is much more comprehensive and powerful.
npm warn deprecated rimraf@3.0.2: Rimraf versions prior to v4 are no longer supported
npm warn deprecated glob@7.2.3: Glob versions prior to v9 are no longer supported
npm warn deprecated glob@7.2.0: Glob versions prior to v9 are no longer supported
npm warn deprecated @humanwhocodes/object-schema@2.0.3: Use @eslint/object-schema instead
npm warn deprecated @humanwhocodes/config-array@0.11.14: Use @eslint/config-array instead
npm warn deprecated glob@8.1.0: Glob versions prior to v9 are no longer supported

added 308 packages, and audited 309 packages in 15s

I'm using "^2.3.4" style "compatible with" version specifiers. Maybe I should switch to >= specifiers, version ranges capped by the next major version, or something else that allows more flexibility? I'm not sure what the "^" "compatible with" does; it's not documented in the "see semver" link on the package.json doco page or on that page itself.

Progress

Work is on branch "early-2024".

Notes:

• I don't have a direct dependency on inflight. Must be pulled in by something else. npm ls --all shows it's from glob@8.1.0, mocha@9.2.2 -> glob@7.2.0, and rimraf@3.0.2 -> glob@7.2.3.

Progress:

• Bumping rimraf to "^5.0.8", its current latest version. And I can't see where I'm even using it. Maybe it can be dropped.
• Bumping mocha to "^10.6.0", its current latest version.

Bumped all the other dependencies to their latest versions while I was at it; why not.

Got a resolution failure.

Downgraded my package.json dep to "eslint": "^8.56.0". Made that go away. Now it solves. But I'm still getting warnings.

npm warn deprecated inflight@1.0.6: This module is not supported, and leaks memory. Do not use it. Check out lru-cache if you want a good and tested way to coalesce async requests by a key value, which is much more comprehensive and powerful.
npm warn deprecated @humanwhocodes/config-array@0.11.14: Use @eslint/config-array instead

npm warn deprecated glob@8.1.0: Glob versions prior to v9 are no longer supported

Some of those are getting pulled in by eslint ^8.56.0. I don't know how to upgrade to eslint 9.x due to the above error, so I guess I'll just live with this and see how it works.
