upgrade to Ionic v6.2 or newer

[mensch72]

to keep up to date, we should upgrade everything to Ionic v6.2 or newer, especially because this will vastly improve datetime picking: https://ionicframework.com/blog/announcing-ionic-v6-2/

but this needs to be tested thoroughly since there might be unexpected dependency issues!

starting to upgrade in separate local clone, following https://update.angular.io/

following https://update.angular.io/?l=3&v=13.0-14.0 running ng update @angular/core@14 @angular/cli@14 finished successfully, saying

  Migration completed.

▸ In Angular version 14, the `pathMatch` property of `Routes` was updated to be a strict union of the two valid options: `'full'|'prefix'`.
  `Routes` and `Route` variables need an explicit type so TypeScript does not infer the property as the looser `string`.
  Migration completed.

▸ As of Angular version 14, Forms model classes accept a type parameter, and existing usages must be opted out to preserve backwards-compatibility.

will keep an eye on the last remarks in that log output regarding Forms.

still, ionic serve then gives errors in JS console: TypeError: resolver.resolveComponentFactory is not a function apparently since we haven't upgraded ionic so far...

[mensch72]

now continuing according to https://ionicframework.com/docs/intro/upgrading-to-ionic-6 trying npm install @ionic/angular@6 gave incompatibility errors, so i just went on with npm install @ionic/angular@6 --force which seemed to succeed. now ionic serve gives Property 'open' does not exist on type 'IonDatetime'. let's try to fix that next...

[mensch72]

commenting out that line temporarily makes ionic serve compile successfully. observations:

• default wap in settings page does not show, console has error "pinFormatter is not a function" --> commented this out for now.

[mensch72]

removed pinformatter altogether, it had no function anyway. more observations:

• add option dialog now too narrow --> adjusted global.scss

[mensch72]

apparently all issues have been solved. will test live now.

[mensch72]

all seems to work. will merge now.
