ardor-react and ardor-admin no longer depend on lodash

Enhancement

In one line. @venizia/ardor-react and @venizia/ardor-admin used lodash for six small calls. Together those four modules (merge, omit, isEqual, isPlainObject) are about 10.3 KB brotli (31.9 KB minified) in an app bundle, and no size budget could see them. They are gone: the packages no longer list lodash or @types/lodash, and ARDOR adds about 220 B of its own code in their place.

What changed

• omit (the list and read requests of the REST data provider, and the list filter) became rest destructuring. The two reads in the provider now share the one filter that is left, instead of omitting params twice.
• isPlainObject (the feature message keys) became a plain typeof check.
• merge (feature messages, and the application's messages over them) became a small deep merge: a later source wins, plain objects merge recursively, an array or a string replaces, an undefined never overwrites a value, and __proto__ is dropped. The sources are not changed.
• isEqual (the useDeepEqualSelector that SelectorHooks.create() returns) became a small deep comparison of primitives, plain objects, arrays and dates. Any other object, such as a Map, a Set or a class instance, is now equal only to itself, where isEqual compared it by content. Data a selector returns from a Redux store is plain, so a selector over state behaves as before.
• Size. @venizia/ardor-react grows by 143 B and @venizia/ardor-admin by 74 B, measured with size-limit against the current develop. An app that did not already bundle those four lodash modules saves about 10.1 KB brotli.

Who is affected

• An app that imported lodash and relied on ARDOR to install it. Add lodash to your own package.json; ARDOR no longer brings it.
• A useDeepEqualSelector selector that returns a Map, a Set or a class instance. It now re-renders whenever the instance changes, as the default selector does. Return plain data, or compare in the selector.
• A message source that relied on merge combining arrays by index. An array in a later source now replaces the earlier one. Message bundles are strings and nested objects, so this does not arise in practice.
• All other apps. No action needed.
