fix: [#4797] Add recognizers-text packages as vendors

[sw-joelmut]

Fixes #4797

Description

This PR adds the recognizers-text package as a vendor dependency for BotBuilder libraries.
To achieve this behavior, we compiled the recongizers-text with 1.1.4 version, updated vulnerable dependencies, and add it as a workspace, so they are connected with BotBuilder libraries.
When publishing BotBuilder packages to npm, we created a script that copies all recognizers-text packages related to a specific BotBuilder library, installing related dependencies, and updating compiled code with the copied references.
The script will be executed post updating versions script.

Important

All recognizers-text packages under botbuilder-vendors/vendors have been compiled with tsup, reduced their package.json information, and changed the require statements to match local vendors.

Specific Changes

• Added recognizers-text packages to depcheck ignores due to now being used as normal dependencies.
• Updated .gitignore to ignore vendors folder
• Added localDependencies property to botbuilder-dialogs, dialogs-adaptive, and dialogs-adaptive-testing, containing the recognizers-text dependencies.
• Updated botbuilder-dialogs i18n require statements because of moving cldr-data folder from vendor to vendors.
• Updated repo-utils Package interface by adding main and localDependencies properties.
• Updated repo-utils, adding hasLocalDependencies option to filter only workspaces that have localDependencies properties.
• Added botbuilder-vendors library containing all recognizers-text vendor packages, each one having the compiled 1.1.4 version and a compacted package.json file.
  • It also contains a script that will be executed after the 'update-versions' script is run, copying selected recognizers-text packages to each BotBuilder library that requires it and update their references in the BotBuilder compiled code.
  • Added botbuilder-vendors/vendors folder to the root package.json workspaces so they are installed and added to the yarn.lock file.

Testing

The following image shows an execution example of the script.
