Major version upgrade to 2.3.0 with breaking changes to defaults, deprecated APIs, and Node.js support

Upgrading body-parser from 1.20.2 to 2.3.0 introduces major version changes (from the 2.x line) and security fixes.

Key changes include: - Removed the deprecated bodyParser() combination middleware. Specific parsers (e.g., bodyParser.json(), bodyParser.urlencoded()) must be used instead. - Changed the default value of the extended option in urlencoded middleware to false. - Removed the automatic initialization of req.body to {}. - Dropped support for Node.js versions below 18. - Switched the simple parser to use the qs module. - Added support for Brotli (br) content-encoding. - Added support for ISO-8859-1, UTF-8 sentinel, and numeric entities in urlencoded parsing. - Improved ESM compatibility. - Fixed security vulnerability CVE-2026-12590 (GHSA-v422-hmwv-36x6).

Because no usage sites of body-parser were found in this repository, we could not determine if or where these breaking changes will impact the codebase.

The deprecated bodyParser() combination middleware has been removed.
The default value for the urlencoded extended option is now false.
The automatic initialization of req.body to {} has been removed.
Support for Node.js versions below 18 has been dropped.

Migration

Replace any direct calls to bodyParser() with specific middleware such as bodyParser.json() or bodyParser.urlencoded().
Explicitly configure the extended option when using bodyParser.urlencoded() if the default of false is not desired.
Ensure the application handles cases where req.body is undefined instead of defaulting to {}.
Verify that the runtime environment runs Node.js 18 or newer.
