build: replace deprecated inquirer with new npm package (angular#57205)

The new package comes with types by default, and also has a nicer
API.

The old package had broken types and couldn't be used anymore; and
it's deprecated/unmaintained. We did a similar switch in
angular/dev-infra.

PR Close angular#57205
