chore: bump to loaders.gl@4.4

[felixpalmer]

Background

Pulls in alpha release of loaders.gl@4.4 for testing. All website examples work (Tiles 3D Point Cloud example is broken due to auth issue)

Change List

• Fix up types
• Use WMSImageSource
• Migrate to new loadOptions config, e.g. 'core.fetch': ...

[felixpalmer]

Adding this otherwise luma.gl/gltf insists on pulling in loaders.gl@4.2 packages causing errors. Once 4.4 is fully released, this can be removed

[coveralls]

coverage: 91.0% (-0.006%) from 91.006%
when pulling 81728b3 on felix/bump-loaders-4.4
into 1ecaec5 on master.

Mentioning here in case it's related, but the Tiles 3D Point Cloud example seems to be broken: https://deck.gl/examples/tile-3d-layer

#10012 was just version bumps - #10013 was the fixes for the errors in the CI of the former - but it was unfinished. It seems like youre further along here. So ill close my PR's in favor of this one.

I've been testing the point-cloud example locally and can't get it to render — just a beige screen with no console errors.

What I've tried:

• Switched LASWorkerLoader → LASLoader (since LASWorkerLoader no longer has parse/parseSync in v4.4)
• Fixed @loaders.gl/core version mismatch in the example (was resolving to 4.3.4 while @loaders.gl/las was 4.4.0-alpha.13) by adding @loaders.gl/core as a direct dep
• Disabled workers via loadOptions: {core: {worker: false}}

In all cases the .laz file fetches successfully (200, 1.6MB) and the worker JS loads, but data never reaches onDataLoad. The promise from load() seems to never resolve.

Any ideas on what's needed to get parsing working with the new loader?

@charlieforward9 thanks for the heads-up, see: visgl/loaders.gl#3297

GH page previews?

Im setting up a draft workflow to help us validate the website quicker. #10019

EDIT #10022

Should we also add some test cases to make sure the screen doesnt show up straight beige, golden images as you called them before?

Thanks for doing this upgrade. A few concerns noted.

@charlieforward9 I think you also did an upgrade attempt, maybe look at my. comments below and compare with approach you took?
