Upgrade frontend dependencies and switch ESLint to a flat config

- Runtime majors: vue-router 5, reveal.js 6, fontawesome 7. Checked against the
  code that uses them: no change needed for reveal.js (the default export is
  still a callable factory and every method/option used is still present) or
  fontawesome (all seven registered icons still resolve).
- frontend/src/router/index.js: guards return the redirect instead of calling the
  deprecated next() callback, which works on vue-router 4 and 5.
- Add frontend/eslint.config.mjs because eslint 10 requires a flat config; the
  lint script now runs eslint directly instead of vue-cli-service.
- Drop tooling nothing in the webpack configs uses (@vue/cli-*, jshint,
  html-webpack-plugin, webpack-bundle-analyzer, @babel/core) and delete the dead
  vue.config.js. npm audit 35 -> 5 (all dev-only), --omit=dev is 0.
- frontend/src/views/UserView.vue: the $route watcher no longer declares unused
  params.
