Updates express from 4.22.1 to 4.22.2

Release notes

Sourced from express's releases.

v4.22.2

What's Changed

• fix: restore >20 array parsing for req.query repeated keys (8d09bfe6)
  • This also unifies array-cap behavior across notations. Indexed notation (a[0]=...) was historically capped at qs's default arrayLimit of 20 even in older qs versions; after this change it also allows up to 1000 items.
• deps: qs@~6.15.1
• deps: body-parser@~1.20.5

New Contributors

• @​suuuuuuminnnnnn made their first contribution in expressjs/express#7021
• @​SAY-5 made their first contribution in expressjs/express#7181

SonarQube reviewer guide

Summary: Bump package version to 8.1.1 and update dependencies, primarily Express to 4.22.2, body-parser to 1.20.5, and qs to 6.15.2.

Review Focus: Verify that the Express, body-parser, and qs dependency updates don't introduce breaking changes or security regressions. Pay particular attention to the removal of duplicate qs entries in nested node_modules—confirm this consolidation doesn't cause version conflicts across the dependency tree.

Start review at: package-lock.json. This is the only file modified and contains all dependency changes; verify the version bumps are intentional patch/minor updates with no breaking changes, and ensure the qs version consolidation (6.14.2 → 6.15.2) is compatible across all consuming packages.
