build(deps): bump node from 16 to 18

[halfwhole]

Problem

Node 16 is now deprecated, its security support has ended as of 11 Sep 2023

Follows up from #2078

Solution

Upgrade our servers and GitHub actions to use Node 18, whose security support is slated to end on 30 Apr 2025

Note that serverless has yet to be upgraded to node 18. This upgrade requires us to reconfigure our lambdas, and so it should be done in one shot to minimize disruption esp. to bulk upload lambdas -- see #1858 for more details

Other upgrades

The node 18 upgrade broke our Testcafe E2E tests, so I upgraded it from v1 to v2.

Unfortunately, Testcafe v2 requires TypeScript to be upgraded from v4.3 to v4.7.4. In turn, a whole bunch of downstream changes needed to be made:

• Dependencies:
  • Upgrade react-i18next
  • Upgrade ts-node, ts-node-dev, ts-loader (dev dependencies)
  • Upgrade @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin and @typescript-eslint/parser (dev dependencies)
• Code changes:
  • navigator.msSaveBlob (used for old IE support, see Fix download CSV on IE #148) no longer exists as of TypeScript v4.4 (see relevant Stackoverflow thread)
    • Ignored using @ts-ignore
  • Caught errors default to type unknown as of TypeScript v4.4 (docs), so we can't use .message on it
    • Cast it back to Error using (error as Error), lmk if doing this is problematic

Tests

• Tested on staging

Deploy Notes

Be a bit more careful with testing pre-release

this line is making our e2e tests fail. it's unnecessary, the drawer closes by itself after transferring the link
closeButtonSnackbar is actually something else entirely, it refers to this close button:

@gweiying would you mind helping to check why the security/snyk (gweiying) test is failing? i don't have permissions to look into that snyk organisation 🥲
suspect the failure is due to the (error as Error) changes re-triggering some code vulnerabilities that we previously ignored, but i'm not sure about this
edit: turns out it's because snyk flagged ansi-regex as a newly-introduced high-severity dependency through [email protected], but this appears to be a false positive

lgtm! removed gogovsg from my personal org, was a mistake on my part!
