Replace Lightbox Implementation #899

The lightbox library we depend on hasn't been updated in a while, might be unmaintained. Explore potential replacements:

Would need to make sure it supports React 18

The recommended replacement library is https://github.com/dromru/react-photoswipe-gallery

I've migrated one of my projects to react-photoswipe-gallery, and I'm not sure there is much value in migrating gatsby-image-gallery to it. Their API is slightly more verbose, but it is also more powerful, as the user can style the grid as they wish.

Well, I've had a nice day debugging this today.

So Image Gallery depends on react-image-lightbox which depends on parcel-bundler (deprecated) which depends on deasync.

Node released a breaking change in process.spawn here, the deasync lib got updated, but parcel-bundler doesn't update dependency, so the whole build now breaks on npm install.

So yeah, just for the sake of having a production-stable supply chain, please update it.
