Updating for v5

[EliphazBouye]

Hi 👋🏾 I'm Eliphaz Bouye, and would like to work on this.

I think it would be a good idea to coordinate with @gurgunday on this one. He has been doing a lot of work in this repo, and a new major should be released soon. After that, prepping a next branch should be easy to do.

I’m down!

Ok, nice :) So @gurgunday what's the starting point?

[gurgunday]

Yeah so the first todo is to determine if the package should be archived -- the answer to which is a short no because we all love rate limiting ;)

Now that we crossed that off, let's move on to the second:

• We need to update the CI workflow so that it only uses node versions 18, 20, and 21
• We need to update the dependencies -- you can simply do a npx npm-check-updates -u to upgrade all the dependencies to their latest versions, if major updates are available and upgrading breaks tests, we need to deal with them
• We need to pin tap's version (the test runner that we use) to 16.3.9
• There is potentially something else to do but I will need to ask around first

I will also create the next branch so that you can target it with PRs

In general it should be a fairly smooth process for this plugin

Great let's go 🚀

@gurgunday updating is done :) . Can you create the next branch where I can target them for my PR?

Done https://github.com/fastify/fastify-rate-limit/tree/next

[gurgunday]

Every task here has been completed except the workflow update (#350)

Will be tracking that from https://github.com/fastify/fastify-rate-limit/issues/340

Thanks again for the contribution
