[Snyk] Fix for 4 vulnerabilities

[snyk-io]

Snyk has created this PR to fix 4 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• plugins/tech-insights-backend/package.json

Note for zero-installs users

If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the .yarn/cache/ directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to run yarn to update the contents of the ./yarn/cache directory.
If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.

⚠️ Warning

Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging.

Walkthrough

This PR updates dependency management in the tech-insights-backend plugin by migrating from workspace protocol references to explicit version pinning. Five Backstage core dependencies (@backstage/backend-common, @backstage/backend-tasks, @backstage/catalog-client, @backstage/catalog-model, and @backstage/config) are changed from workspace:^ to specific version numbers ranging from 0.1.1 to 0.25.0. Additionally, the lodash dependency is upgraded from ^4.17.21 to ^4.17.23, likely addressing known security vulnerabilities. This change suggests preparation for a package release or resolution of version compatibility issues by establishing explicit dependency versions rather than relying on workspace-relative versioning.
