Updated dependencies and version bump to 2.4.0-rc1

WE2-1018

- All dependencies updated
- Version bump to 2.4.0-rc1
- Version in package.json can now have a release candidate suffix which will be excluded in the extension manifest
- Migrated `eslint` to the new flat config file format
- The `@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin` and `@typescript-eslint/parser` packages are deprecated, changed to the new `typescript-eslint` package which contains both.
- New dependency `@stylistic/eslint-plugin-ts` - Some linter rules have been deprecated or removed from the `typescript-eslint` project and migrated to `@stylistic`, for example the `semi` rule.
- Fixed some minor linter errors
- Added additional linter rule overrides. These rules should be checked separately and might require fixes in the code.
- Renamed `rollup.config.js` to `rollup.config.mjs` as it was a ES6 module and not a CommonJS file
- Removed `findFiles` from `build-utils.mjs`. It was a promise wrapper for `glob`. After updating `glob`, it now returns a promise by itself, so the wrapper was unnecessary.
- Moved `bootstrap` from `devDependencies` to `dependencies`, which should now correctly reflect how it's used.
