[Snyk] Security upgrade nanoid from 4.0.0 to 5.1.16

[posit-snyk-bot]

Snyk has created this PR to fix 2 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• apps/vscode/package.json

Note for zero-installs users

If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the .yarn/cache/ directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to run yarn to update the contents of the ./yarn/cache directory.
If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.

⚠️ Warning

Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging.

The upgrade from nanoid v4 to v5 is a major version jump with significant breaking changes, primarily centered around the removal of the asynchronous API and updated Node.js version support.

Key Breaking Changes:

• Asynchronous API Removed: The entire async API (nanoid/async) has been removed. The library now exclusively uses the synchronous Web Crypto API for random number generation. Any code using await nanoid() or importing from nanoid/async will break and must be refactored to use the synchronous nanoid() function. [1]
• Node.js Support: Support for Node.js versions 14 and 16 has been dropped. [1]

Recommendation:
This is a high-risk upgrade. Before merging, you must audit your codebase to ensure you are not using the asynchronous version of nanoid. All calls must be converted to the synchronous API. You must also ensure your production environment runs on Node.js 18 or newer.
