Dependency updates Q42024

[elycheea]

The problem

Currently, our GitHub actions open automated update PRs twice a month. These open as two PRs — Carbon 11 updates, followed by dev dependencies. We recently noticed that the last time we actually merged one of our automated dev dependency PRs was in February 2024. This unfortunately means our dev dependency PRs can contain several breaking changes.

The solution

@matthewgallo and I suggest more incremental upgrades to address some of the known bigger changes so that it’ll be easier to update.

Some of the major version changes that we may want to address in separate issues include:

1. ESLint 8 to 9 reconfigure eslint config for v9 #6187 — this work I started in a separate branch but looks like eslint-config-carbon will need update in order for us to extend it in the new config.
2. Stylelint 15 to 16
3. Rollup 3 to 4
4. Framer 6.5.1 to 11 (previously we downgraded this due to React 18 but we investigate whether we can move to a more current version now)
