Replace strip-ansi with native stripVTControlCharacters

[Namchee]

Overview

stripVTControlCharacters from Node core utilities provide the same functionality.

Do note that this utility function requires Node 16.11.0 or higher.

Some big ones:

• enquirer
• eslint
• string-width
• wrap-ansi

The latter two are by the same author as strip-ansi, so TBD if they'd want to swap. Worth a shot though

[pralkarz]

Also:

• stylelint
• lerna
• ava
• astro
• some packages in the jest monorepo

Maybe we can go one level higher and migrate away from the packages consuming it?

[Namchee]

Would like to include:

• cucumber
• gatsby
• cspell

Done:

• astro
• eslint
• stylelint
• cucumber-js
• cspell

In Progress:

[Namchee]

As for lerna, I think it's better for us to do it on nx instead since the stewardship has passed from Lerna

[benmccann]

I noticed today that enquirer says it has only a single dependency. It's not true, but would be if this migration were done

[Namchee]

I don't think we can remove strip-ansi from enquirer as enquirer sets the engine to >=8.6

string-width is supposed to work in browsers, and I suppose so is wrap-ansi, same with string-length

metro still depends on strip-ansi but it's removal has been merged, just wasn't published.

gauge is deprecated.

we might have a good chance removing it from jest though
