What is the current behavior?

Using the latest oclif version 4.4.11 there are some deprecated transient dependencies that will show warning messages during running npm install of the package.

Steps to reproduce:

1. try installing any published CLI library based on oclif 4.4.11
2. the npm i will output the following deprecated dependency warnings:

npm WARN deprecated debuglog@1.0.1: Package no longer supported. Contact Support at https://www.npmjs.com/support for more info.
npm WARN deprecated readdir-scoped-modules@1.1.0: This functionality has been moved to @npmcli/fs
npm WARN deprecated @npmcli/move-file@1.1.2: This functionality has been moved to @npmcli/fs
npm WARN deprecated @npmcli/move-file@2.0.1: This functionality has been moved to @npmcli/fs
npm WARN deprecated @npmcli/move-file@2.0.1: This functionality has been moved to @npmcli/fs

These dependencies originate from oclif 4.4.11:

debuglog@1.0.1

└─┬ oclif@4.4.11
  └─┬ yeoman-environment@3.19.3
    └─┬ @npmcli/arborist@4.3.1
      └─┬ readdir-scoped-modules@1.1.0
        └── debuglog@1.0.1

readdir-scoped-modules@1.1.0

└─┬ oclif@4.4.11
  └─┬ yeoman-environment@3.19.3
    └─┬ @npmcli/arborist@4.3.1
      └── readdir-scoped-modules@1.1.0

@npmcli/move-file@1.1.2

└─┬ oclif@4.4.11
  └─┬ yeoman-environment@3.19.3
    └─┬ @npmcli/arborist@4.3.1
      ├── @npmcli/move-file@1.1.2
      └─┬ cacache@15.3.0
        └── @npmcli/move-file@1.1.2 deduped

So the main issue is that any CLI npm package based on the Oclif framework using this version will show these warnings during install, which is a pretty bad impression for anyone using the CLI package.

What is the expected behavior?

The expected behaviour is that there are no deprecated transient dependencies showing as npm WARN when installing the package.

Please mention your oclif and OS version.

Oclif version is 4.4.11
OS version is macOS Sonoma 14.0
