[meta] Dealing with Numeral.js

[Dosant]

Meta issue to plan and execute on moving away from Numeral.js in field formatters.

-[ ] TODO @Dosant add more details. All credit goes to #39211 (comment), #8583 (comment)

• Sum up on numeral limitations: Remove external dependency on Numeral.js #8583 (comment)
• Remove external dependency on numeral?
• New number field formatter without exposing numeral as API?
• Use Intl API instead? Remove external dependency on Numeral.js #8583 (comment) [Formatters] Add new currency and short number formatter, replacing default number and percent #53972 [i18n] Check usage of FormattedNumber instead of Numeral JS #27475
• Potential migration plan (@wylieconlon): [Lens] Improve tick formatting #97100 (comment)

Blocks:

• Currency is not based on Locale, Currency field formatter Add a currency field formatter #25993
• Does not support leading zeroes Support leading zeros in number field formatter #18625
• Does not display small numbers Support scientific notation for very small numbers #5811
• Locales are incomplete Add Norwegian locale for number formatters #54351

Ideally general plan is related/needed for moving forward with:

• [Lens] Improve tick formatting [Lens] Improve tick formatting #97100
• [Lens] Bytes formatting needs to be consistent across the Y-axis values [Lens] Bytes formatting needs to be consistent across the Y-axis values #57384
