refactor: migrate internal linting to recommended plugins

[MikeMcC399]

• closes Migrate from @cypress/eslint-plugin-dev to supported plugins #174

Issue

• The previous set of plugins used internally (npm run lint) were based on the npm module @cypress/eslint-plugin-dev. Since this module is not yet compatible with ESLint 8.x, a migration to this version has not been possible. PR chore: update eslint from version 7 to version 8 cypress#29355 aims to migrate @cypress/eslint-plugin-dev to ESLint 8.x, however a path to ESLint 9.x needs to be possible and the current PR for @cypress/eslint-plugin-dev does not cover this aspect.

Changes

1. Plugin dependencies used for internal linting are removed:
   • @cypress/eslint-plugin-dev
   • @cypress/eslint-plugin-json
   • @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin
   • @typescript-eslint/parser
2. Overrides for eslint-plugin-mocha are removed from package.json
3. Plugins recommended by the ESLint documentation section Linting a Plugin are added, using each plugin's recommended configuration:
   • eslint
   • eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin using eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin@5 for compatibility with ESLint 7.x
   • eslint-plugin-n using eslint-plugin-n@16 for compatibility with ESLint 7.x
4. The following plugin is also updated to a current version:
   • eslint-plugin-mocha with its recommended configuration.
5. .eslintrc.json is reconfigured for the above plugins. Some recommended rules of the form eslint-plugin/require-meta-* are temporarily disabled. These should be revisited in conjunction with the enhancements proposed by the ESLint team in PR Automate docs with eslint-doc-generator #115.

Verification

Ensure that npm run lint is successful on ESLint v7 and v8.

Prerequisites

• This PR depends on feat: support eslint v7 & v8 instead of ">= 3.2.1" #176 to restrict ESLint to v7 and v8.
