Charles Bochet 2da28cb03e security: upgrade express 4.22.2 + qs 6.15.2 resolution for dev-tool holdouts (Dependabot alert 1305) (#21434)
Closes the qs Dependabot alert —
[1305](https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/security/dependabot/1305) — by
**upgrading express where possible** and using a **documented qs
resolution** only for the irreducible dev-only holdouts.

### What's vulnerable
`qs 6.14.x` (the `qs.stringify` DoS) is pulled by `express 4.22.1` /
`body-parser 1.x`. The fix is `qs 6.15.2`, and there's **no backport to
the 6.14 line**.

### Upgrade what we can (no resolution)
`express 4.22.2` / `body-parser 1.20.5` moved to the patched `qs
~6.15.1`. So this PR bumps the app + in-range tooling to **express
4.22.2**:
- twenty-server's stale direct pin `4.22.1 → 4.22.2` (its runtime HTTP
is already express 5.2.1 via `@nestjs/platform-express`; this just
patches the redundant direct dep — typecheck passes),
- nx / electron-forge / webpack-dev-server / companion follow via `yarn
up -R express body-parser`.

### Resolution only for the two holdouts
Two **dev-only** tools pin express *exactly* with no patched release on
a line we can use, so they still drag in `qs 6.14.2`:
- **verdaccio** `4.22.1` — express 5 only landed in the **v7 beta**
([verdaccio#5680](https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio/issues/5680),
[#2479](https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio/issues/2479)), **not**
backported to the 6.x line we use.
- **@mintlify/previewing** `4.22.0` — closed-source, latest still pins
4.22.0, no movement.

A `qs: 6.15.2` resolution covers those, documented with a top-level
`//resolutions` note and a removal trigger.

### Verification
- `yarn install --immutable` ✓; every `qs` resolves to `6.15.2`; express
app/tooling on `4.22.2` (only verdaccio/mintlify remain on old express,
neutralized by the resolution).
- `twenty-server` typecheck ✓ (90 files import express types;
4.22.1→4.22.2 is a patch).
- Non-exploitable in prod regardless (express/body-parser use
`qs.parse`, not the vulnerable `stringify`).
