Abstract
Move to use es-toolkit instead of lodash.
Motivation
lodash is deprecated in Volto 18 (see #6350), and it's unmaintained and it bloats builds. Some of their utilities are already part of the ESNext specifications and needed anymore.
See https://github.com/you-dont-need/You-Dont-Need-Lodash-Underscore for more information.
Proposal & Implementation
Modify all imports and usage from the remaining lodash utilities and move to use the es-toolkit ones.
Risks
Add-ons and projects will have to update to use es-toolkit or add the lodash dependency locally.
It will be recommended that everybody adapts their code to not use lodash.
