[WEBUI] Migration to bootstrap 5

[nicolargo]

In the WebUI build:

bootstrap  3.1.1 - 3.4.1
Severity: moderate
Bootstrap Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability - https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-9mvj-f7w8-pvh2
fix available via `npm audit fix --force`
Will install [email protected], which is a breaking change
node_modules/bootstrap

A --force do not work. JS code should be refactor.

@fr4nc0is can you have a look ?

This issue is available for anyone to work on. Make sure to reference this issue in your pull request. ✨ Thank you for your contribution ! ✨

[nicolargo]

My assumption is that we need to migrate from LESS to SCSS because Bootstrap 5 do not include LESS anymore ?

[nicolargo]

@spike008t Can you help us on this task ?

[nicolargo]

When implemented, re-enable the audit fix in the CI: https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/blob/develop/.github/workflows/webui.yml#L26

On the issue2914 branch:

$ git checkout issue2914

$ make webui-audit-fix 
cd glances/outputs/static/ && npm audit fix && npm ci && npm run build

To address all issues (including breaking changes), run:

Migration from 3 to 5 ? How to do it ?

Migrate from 3 to 4: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/migration/ (Moving from Beta 3 to our stable v4.0 release, there are no breaking changes, but there are some notable changes.)
then 4 to 5: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/migration/
???

Any advises @spike008t @notFloran @fr4nc0is ?
