Update dependencies including ESlint 9 upgrade

[YasharF]

Breaking Change
Upgraded eslint to v9: Migrated configurations to eslint.config.js and set up the structure (index.js) so eslint.config.js can be used for linting this project and its consumers.

Upgrades
Upgraded husky to the latest version: Configured husky hook to run npm test in addition to lint-staged.
Upgraded other dependencies to their latest versions.

Improvements
Enhanced lint-staged configurations:

• Fix lint issues when possible that could be fixed with eslint --fix
• Use prettier to update code style if needed instead of just checking for issues.
• Continue to check for potential lint issues after running prettier in case if there are conflicting code style rules.

TO DO (Draft until done)

• Documentation update on how to use this new version and how to migrate existing consumers

Testing and validation:

1. npm test and npm run lint within this project pass.
2. I have tested my updated fork by a fork of samsam. I am waiting for Remove dependency on the deprecated lodash.get samsam#254 before pushing my samsam updates to github. The output of the npm run lint in samsam is as follows. Two new errors have surfaced for no-unused-vars, but upon review of samsam, I noticed that there are unused variables present which were being missed by the prior eslint and configs.

I can take a stab at upgrading sinonjs modules that consume eslint-config for further validation, if you don't have any overall issues with the changes and just need further validation and testing.

I changed the status to draft as I need to update the documentation on using this new version and how to migrate existing consumers. I will try to do that in the next few weeks.
