some refactoring steps

[SimonFischer04]

This project got some get some refactoring.
Here a list of things I found during my recent development of ES-Module port (see: #78 and #79):

Just a list to have them collected and address whenever fits, not necessary to "fix" straight away.

• enable dependabot for this repo, to get automatic updates in the future. any specific reason it is disabled?
• refactor according to more ES-Module like practices. For example (and some example resources for this
  • .join is discoreged because URL and some function support it natively (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46745014/alternative-for-dirname-in-node-js-when-using-es6-modules, https://blog.logrocket.com/alternatives-dirname-node-js-es-modules/, )
  • fully get rid of require and replace require.resolve, once import.meta.resolve becomes stable (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54977743/do-require-resolve-for-es-modules)
  • convert leftover commonjs (.prettierrc.cjs)
  • ...
• yeoman: replace deprecated .withPrompts with .withAnswers
• re-introduce some sort of windows test (maybe in conjunction with: Add support for command-line options instead of prompts #80 ?)
• exclude package-lock from linting (npm run fix): npm i produces different styled file...
• add full .idea folder to gitignore: i have more stuff in there - any reason not excluding the full folder?
• Probably should add node 18 to ci-test, because nodecg recommends v18?
• ...

I intend this issue to stay open for quite some time at least and be updated with any new ideas / suggestions, so feel free to comment.

Probably should add node 18 to ci-test, because nodecg recommends v18?

should be as simple as changing "node-version: [16.x]" to "node-version: [16.x, 18.x]"?

when enabling it, I would recommend to set it to only run once a month for example, because by default it spams quite a lot arguably and therefore makes it more annoying than helpful

just found that linting should probably be disabled on the Changelog (and readme) too, because the release / changelog action creates automatic falsely linted file.
Actually, could also just do linting on .ts and .js files?
