fix: remove faker from application code

[tecoholic]

While testing the admin-portal, I noticed that the bundle size was huge and discovered that a lot of bloat is coming from the usage of faker.js in the application code. Faker.js should be limited to development and testing, as it has many definitions and seed data that can cause unnecessary bloat.

Here are some screenshots comparing the changes in bundle sizes before and after the change.

Before

Impact of Faker.js in the size

After

The Parsed bundle size fell from 5.84MB to 3.14MB as 46% reduction.

Caveat

I didn't particularly test the impact of this change on the functionality. I don't think there should be any. Mentioning it, just in case.

For all changes

• [ ] Ensure adequate tests are in place (or reviewed existing tests cover changes)

Only if submitting a visual change

• [ ] Ensure to attach screenshots
• [ ] Ensure to have UX team confirm screenshots
