Chore: Updating Dependencies

[karnthis]

This PR combines Dependabot PRs #244 #260 #261 #263 #264 and #265 and includes some additional audit fixes Dependabot missed. Build succeeded, Tests pass.

Please update the Dependabot settings so I stop getting roughly 30 emails from this project every Monday evening.

I'm just back from 2 weeks of busy - will approve this, but if you have the time (before I do) - there's a code as config that can tell it to update things as groups of updates together - like testing, linting, building etc - it's on my TODO list and I'll try to have a look next week if you don't

Sorry not sure what you're referring to. Can you elaborate?
