feat: Migrate from Create React App to Vite

[juliopavila]

Description:

This PR represents a significant shift from Create React App (CRA) to Vite, following the migration guide. The React team now recommends moving away from CRA to more flexible and efficient alternatives like Vite, particularly for managing large and complex applications.

Key Changes:

1. Performance Boost: Vite offers faster build times and a more efficient development experience, enhancing overall productivity.
2. Flexible Configuration: Unlike CRA, Vite provides greater flexibility in configuration, allowing for custom build processes and better integration with modern tools.
3. Updated Dependencies: Transitioned to Vite-compatible dependencies, ensuring better maintenance and up-to-date packages.
4. Enhanced Developer Experience: With features like fast refresh and optimized module loading, Vite significantly improves the developer experience.

Technical Steps:

• Installed Vite and necessary plugins (@vitejs/plugin-react, vite-tsconfig-paths).
• Created a new vite.config.ts file tailored to our application's needs.
• Migrated index.html to the project root and updated script tags for Vite compatibility.
• Updated package.json scripts to use Vite commands.
• Addressed issues related to environment variables and browser compatibility by leveraging browserslist-to-esbuild.
• Update Node version to 21

This migration aligns with the latest industry standards and prepares our application for future scalability and improvements.
