Add support to backstage v1.6.0 & remove unnecessary react-router dep

[ivangonzalezacuna]

Added support to the latest version of backstage.

This change is really important, and many people might face issues upgrading their plugin in the near future.

Also, I removed the react-router dependency and, consequently, a few lines in the Router.ts file, as this is not needed to display the GitlabCi component.

@satrox28 this is very important for any adopter to perform: https://backstage.io/docs/tutorials/react-router-stable-migration if they are using GitLab Plugin.

Any news on this? We have the same issue and i would like to update to the current backstage version.
Thanks for your PR @ivangonzalezacuna!

@richardmcsong please take a look.

Hi. Any update on this? We would really like to get rid of the beta version of react router and update to the latest version of backstage (1.7.0 already)

Let me bump this, as I started playing around with backstage starting with 1.6.0, this plugin never worked for me. Does Loblaw plan to maintain the plugin, or should the community start thinking about a fork?

@satrox28 Would you mind help looking into this issue?

[AlexPerkbox]

Can anyone approve this please? It is blocking gitlab's integration in backstage's newest release.

As a workaround, I created a mimic lib tested with backstage v1.8.0. You can use this lib while waiting for the official one to be updated.

Please can you provide a link to the mimic lib as the posted link just goes back to the same broken version by loblaw

Is it possible to get this PR reviewed and merged so latest package is published and can be consumed in Backstage 1.6.0+?
