Upgrade Jest to v29

[dennisameling]

Jest 29 was released in August of 2022 already, so not sure why this wasn't detected by Dependabot earlier. Running an npm outdated locally showed that we were using an older version of Jest.

not sure why this wasn't detected by Dependabot earlier.

I think the reason is the ^ in front of the version number, which according to the package.json documentation means that we need any updates to be "compatible with" this version. According to SemVer, incrementing the major version number is done when the version becomes incompatible.

That ^ only applies when running npm update, so it stays within the bounds of the same major version. However, I expected Dependabot to flag this major upgrade in a PR. It also opened a PR to upgrade @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin from 7.18.0 to 8.4.0, which had the same ^ syntax in the package.json file 🤷🏼‍♂️

Anyway, thanks for the quick review and the merge!

Huh, you're right... strange!
