build: Upgrading dependencies for compatibility with Node 20 and general maintenance

[msohaill]

List of changes:

• Upgrading all dependencies to latest stable/compatible versions.
• No major API adjustments required apart from mongoose MongoId being instantiated with new and mongoose no longer accepting callbacks. We used to use these queryCallbackFactory and updateCallbackFactory functions that actually ran every single query twice! I've migrated and fixed this behaviour so (technically) all queries should be twice as fast now 😂
• Winston logger also needed some API updates, but nothing severe.
• Database service no longer needs to emit db connected event as Mocha has updated their runners and Mongoose buffers queries.
• Tests are fixed according to #925
