Observe and plan for ecosystem move to ECMAScript Modules

[ssciolla]

There is a more recent version of p-limit, version 4, but it uses ESM, which would require some tinkering with package.json and tsconfigs, and maybe more dramatic import changes across the project. This should probably be handled separately, and it may not be urgent. I need to do more reading about it. See https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c and https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/esm-node.html

Test Plan
Functional testing: This is full feature/regression testing

1. Development testing
   1. Test all features
   2. test the bulk upload of Add U-M user and Bulk create sectiosn
   3. OAuthflow needs to be tested. Testing focus on token could be read, update, delete
      1. Delete the token from Canvas Profiles - > setting
      2. Let the token Refresh
      3. By 'Become user' feature
   4. Test the Database Migration. Do this by creating a new DB i.e deleting .mysql_data so DB could be created. So migrations could be applied.
      1. Use the migration commands from ReadMe
      2. Trying this from doing a local Prod build/up using docker-compose-prod.yml

Should this be in icebox?

Should this be in icebox?

Yes, I don't think we should tackle this immediately, too many things still in motion it seems.
