Upgrade to MUI 5

[chrtannus]

Description of new feature

• Upgrade from MUI 4 to MUI 5
• Upgrade from React 16 to React 17

Motivation for new feature

• Many bug fixes and improvements over v4
• Components are easier to styles with the sx syntax (we won't be using the new styling engine at first, though)
• New components: i.e. multidate pickers
• Easier to look for documentation, more resources when we need help
• Updated from React v16 to v17 should help reduce the app build time significantly (~50%)
• Only version that fully supports React 18 (if we want to take advantage of the latest React features)
• Update or else we will get left behind--'It just works' becomes 'it can never change' in a few years time
• Reusability: better migrate now before starting a new similar project that will reuse/copy most of the layout and several widgets

(*) NOTE: Cytoscape Web currently uses MUI 5.

Material UI v4 to v5 migration... Worth doing?
