[Snyk] Fix for 4 vulnerabilities

[snyk-io]

Snyk has created this PR to fix 4 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• plugins/catalog-backend/package.json

Note for zero-installs users

If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the .yarn/cache/ directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to run yarn to update the contents of the ./yarn/cache directory.
If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.

⚠️ Warning

Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging.

Walkthrough

This PR updates the dependency management strategy for the catalog-backend plugin by transitioning from workspace protocol references to explicit version numbers for eleven internal Backstage packages. The changes include pinning versions for core packages such as backend-common (0.24.1), backend-plugin-api (1.6.1), and various catalog and plugin packages. Additionally, the lodash dependency is upgraded from ^4.17.21 to ^4.17.23, likely addressing known security vulnerabilities. This modification indicates a shift from monorepo workspace dependency resolution to fixed versioning, potentially in preparation for package publication or to enforce stricter version control across the project.

Changes

File(s)	Summary
plugins/catalog-backend/package.json	Converted eleven Backstage dependencies from workspace protocol (workspace:^) to explicit version numbers and upgraded lodash from ^4.17.21 to ^4.17.23.
