Description

These changes migrates the project from the now deprecated create-react-app to vite as well as resolves node package security vulnerabilities from old dependency versions. With this change, I recommend you all run npm install in the root directory to install the new npm dependencies. Additionally, I recommend you to run docker compose build in the server/ directory to update the cached container build.

Additionally, for the client/ code, the package vitest was added and configured to run integration and unit tests, with a placeholder test already written. This PR does not aim to implement front end testing; it was only setting up the dependencies for it to be run in the first place.

Fixes # N/A - No issue

Additional Information

The necessary changes to documentation have not been made. This is largely due to the priority of providing a stable solution for the project dependencies for group members to initiate work.

Previously received verbal approval, waited for over 2 weeks for official code review, so pushing this through now
