Remove querystring in @serverless/platform-client

[R3dLantern]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched existing issues, it hasn't been reported yet

Use case description

npm audit reports the usage of the deprecated querystring package within @serverless/platform-client:

querystring@0.2.1 dev
node_modules/@serverless/platform-client/node_modules/querystring
  querystring@"^0.2.1" from @serverless/platform-client@4.5.1
  node_modules/@serverless/platform-client
    @serverless/platform-client@"^4.3.2" from @serverless/dashboard-plugin@6.2.2
    node_modules/@serverless/dashboard-plugin
      @serverless/dashboard-plugin@"^6.2.2" from serverless@3.24.1
      node_modules/serverless
        dev serverless@"^3.24.1" from the root project
        peer serverless@"2 || 3" from serverless-plugin-typescript@2.1.4
        node_modules/serverless-plugin-typescript
          dev serverless-plugin-typescript@"^2.1.2" from the root project
    @serverless/platform-client@"^4.3.2" from serverless@3.24.1
    node_modules/serverless
      dev serverless@"^3.24.1" from the root project
      peer serverless@"2 || 3" from serverless-plugin-typescript@2.1.4
      node_modules/serverless-plugin-typescript
        dev serverless-plugin-typescript@"^2.1.2" from the root project

Proposed solution (optional)

The official recommendation is to replace querystring functionality with URLSearchParams. Unless there are already plans doing so, the possibility of contributing to @serverless/platform-client would create potential pull requests addressing the matter.

i wonder if it is done? can you redirect me to the commit related to this?

As far as I can see no steps have been taken yet.
@serverless/platform-client is not a public repository and its code is currently only visible in the NPM registry.

@ktwbc I think that would be addressed in #12369, but I specifically talk about the dependency of @serverless/platform-client.
