Upgrade package typescript from 5.5.4 to 5.6.2

[palisadoes]

Rationale

1. This was previously attempted by the automated dependabot job but the PR tests failed.
2. This issue has been created to fix the issue as there may be multiple dependency requirements that need updating

This is a major revision upgrade and many files may need to be updated to the new syntax, functions, methods and classes

During the week of November 11, 2024 we will start a code freeze on the develop branches in Talawa, Talawa Admin and Talawa-API.

We have completed a project to convert the Talawa-API backend to use PostgreSQL. Work will then begin with us merging code in the develop branches to a new develop-postrgres branch in each repository.

Planning activities for this will be managed in our #talawa-projects slack channel. A GitHub project will be created to track specially labeled issues. We completed a similar exercise last year using a similar methodology.

Starting November 12, California time no new PRs will be accepted against the develop branch. They must be applied to the develop-postrgres branch.

There are some GSoC project features that will need to be merged into develop. These will be the only exceptions.

This activity and the post GSoC 2024 start date was announced in our #general Slack channel last month as a pinned post.
