Blocker when trying to integrated waku in the react web app: https://github.com/libp2p/js-libp2p/issues/909

Several ways to move forward

Wait for libp2p 0.31 release
Use resolutions with npm-force-resolutions but it failed to override the versions. TODO: Try again without **/
Use resolutions with yarn, however migrating to yarn failed because of ts-proto

At this stage, I am going to aim for 1. In the meantime, I can create a WakuMock and move forward with the react app and then replace the WakuMock once 1 is done or spend more time on workarounds.

Note that for 3, ts-proto 1.79.3 should fix the issue: https://github.com/stephenh/ts-proto/pull/275
