Replace lodash functions by ESNext style functions or by deepmerge-ts (lighter and more maintened)

We use npm, please remove this file and run npm install so package-lock is in sync.

Sorry I missed that. It's fixed

`deepmerge-ts` seems to have an
[issue](RebeccaStevens/deepmerge-ts#488) with
a type file.

Skipping lib check in `tsconfig.json`
([doc](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig/#skipLibCheck)) works
around that and will increase compile time without drawbacks.

Seems like tests do not quite work.

body can be undefined, should be something like

const json = body && typeof body === 'object' ? body : tryJSONparse(body);

I was thinking about this change and don't see any benefits in removing lodash. While it was not updated for 4 years, seems like version 5 will be released at some point.

After my recent changes node-soap does not contain any vulnerabilities.

If you have different point of view ii I happy to discuss it.

I will update this PR after summer break.

Concerning the why, I have 2 reasons to remove this kind of dependency:

  • It can be considered as "unmaintained" after 4 years, and I personally doubt it will have a rebirth. The discovery of a vuln seems bound to happen
  • Most of the useful functions are now in the standard API
  • The package weight 1.41MB and you're just cherry-picking a few functions

I understand those are very opinionated reasons and I'll understand if you do not wish to remove it.

Hi @JbIPS,

Okay, happy to discuss proposed solution.

I had another look on it ... that is not that easy, deepmerge-ts is not enough. Some stuff can be replaced with native JS features, but not all. Too much work to replace what works just fine.
