Latest loopback mocha tests are not running

Describe the bug

Create a new lb app with node 16, Trying to run the default tests that come with lb app, using yarn test, it immediately throws this typescript error. This seems to be a mocha issue, but why did Loopback upgrade to latest mocha?

ERR_REQUIRE_ESM errors with Mocha tests.

const stringWidth = require('string-width');
                    ^

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /home/fahad/work/testapp/node_modules/string-width/index.js from /home/fahad/work/testapp/node_modules/yargs/node_modules/cliui/build/index.cjs not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in /home/fahad/work/testapp/node_modules/yargs/node_modules/cliui/build/index.cjs to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

Reproduction

THIS ISSUE IS OBVIOUS

I was about to report this same issue in a freshly created project.

I confirm it is still reproducible as of today with the following versions:

I am using node v18.16.1.

The issue is fixed if I install yargs@14.2.2 as suggested above.
