Replace the dagre and dagre-d3 libraries with dagre-d3-es. Both dagre and dagre-d3 are deprecated and unmaintained, and haven't been updated for more than 3 years. Since dagre-d3 still requires an old version of d3, this causes a bunch of security warnings, e.g. https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-36jr-mh4h-2g58 The [dagre-d3-es](https://github.com/tbo47/dagre-es) package is a fork that contains support for `"d3": "^7.6.1"`. Also, it's ESM, so we will hopefully get smaller bundle sizes too. The only issue is that this fork isn't very well used (only has 3000 weekly downloads), compared to `dagre-d3`'s 250,000 weekly downloads. (although to be fair, a large proportion of dagre-d3's downloads probably come from mermaid) Since it's is a less popular package, **I've pinned `dagre-d3-es` to `"7.0.2"` instead of `"^7.0.2"`**. This does mean if there is a bug in `dagre-d3-es`, we will have to manually bump it ourselves, but it also means we won't accidentally be sending a buggy version of `dagre-d3-es` out to users in cases something changes (it might be worth disabling renovate for this if we're feeling paranoid!)
