Remove several unused JS dependencies

[hotzenklotz]

While debugging the library version conflicts for PR #7505 I ran a check for unused libs with depcheck. While it flagged many false positive libs I think it correctly identified these 5 libs as unused:

[Name]: [PR where the lib was introduced]

• ndarray-convolve: Quick Select Tool PR
• react-sortable-tree-theme-file-explore: Dataset Folder PR
• strip-ansi: Virtual VX Logs
• @use-it/interval: Recent Datasets conversion on Dashboard PR
• cross-fetch: PR to Fix airbrake-js

Hopefully this decreases our bundle size a little bit and helps to avoid version conflicts in the future.

Command to detect unused libs.

npx depcheck . --specials=eslint,webpack,prettier,typescript,less,esbuild

URL of deployed dev instance (used for testing):

• https://___.webknossos.xyz

Steps to test:

• Delete node_modules and yarn install
• I did tests to verify that:
  • That throwing an Error will trigger a Airbrake notifications
  • That quick select works in AI and non-AI mode
  • That VX logs can still be viewed
  • That skeletons & segment tree components looked "normal"

Issues:

• None

• Updated changelog
• Updated migration guide if applicable
• Updated documentation if applicable
• Adapted wk-libs python client if relevant API parts change
• Removed dev-only changes like prints and application.conf edits
• Considered common edge cases
• Needs datastore update after deployment

This lib was introduced to added a polyfill for airbrake-js. We have switched to @airbrake/browser in the meantime, which seems to work without polyfills.

@philippotto @daniel-wer I already tried to verify as much as possible that we really do not use these libs anywhere in our code or tooling. Yet, I didn't remember why we added some of this in the first-place or why it has become unused. Maybe some of the lib names mean more to you and you can verify that this is safe to remove. Thanks.

We have implemented this ourselves in libs/react_helpers

I didn't test this PR (your performed testing looks very good 👍), but your explanations sound very reasonable and I agree that these packages seem to be unused.

Hopefully this decreases our bundle size a little bit [...]

I would have hoped that webpack wouldn't include unused bits, but removing unused packages is still a good idea, obviously.

@daniel-wer Do these libs mean anything to you? Do you see any red flags?

I don't see any red flags. Thanks for the detailed description and researching where these libs were introduced!

cool, then, let's do it 🎉
