[Snyk] Fix for 6 vulnerabilities

[q1blue]

Snyk has created this PR to fix 6 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• plugins/app-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 dependency management for the app-backend plugin by transitioning from workspace protocol references to explicit version pinning for Backstage core packages. Four Backstage dependencies (@backstage/backend-common, @backstage/backend-plugin-api, @backstage/config, and @backstage/config-loader) are now locked to specific versions rather than using workspace:^ references. Additionally, the lodash dependency is upgraded from version 4.17.21 to 4.17.23, which likely addresses known security vulnerabilities. This change indicates a shift from monorepo workspace dependency management to explicit version control for better stability and reproducibility.

Changes

File(s)	Summary
plugins/app-backend/package.json	Converted four Backstage packages from workspace protocol references (workspace:^) to pinned versions: @backstage/backend-common to 0.25.0, @backstage/backend-plugin-api to 1.6.1, @backstage/config to 0.1.1, and @backstage/config-loader to 0.6.10. Upgraded lodash dependency from ^4.17.21 to ^4.17.23.
