Fix critical security vulnerabilities in axios, webpack, and cross-spawn

[Jadhielv]

This PR addresses three critical/high security vulnerabilities and one environment issue in the kctest-frontend project:

1. Webpack buildHttp Bypass (SSRF): Updated webpack to 5.97.1. This version correctly validates the final authority/host after URL parsing and re-validates allowedUris after redirects, addressing CVE-2024-43788.
2. Axios Denial of Service (DoS): Updated axios to 1.7.9. This version handles proto as an own property safely in mergeConfig.js, addressing CVE-2023-45853.
3. cross-spawn Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS): Added an override to force cross-spawn to 7.0.6, addressing CVE-2024-21538 / GHSA-3xgq-45jj-v275.
4. Vue package version mismatch: Pinned vue-template-compiler to 2.6.14 to match the vue version, which was causing unit tests to fail.

All functional tests (npm run unit) passed after these changes.

Poem

🐰 I hopped through package.json light,
Pinning versions snug and tight,
Axios trimmed, webpack slowed,
Cross-spawn fixed on its own road,
A tidy hop — build day bright! ✨
