Run npm dedupe command.

Reducing dependency duplication is beneficial in general:

  • Fewer packages overall.
  • Faster installation.
  • Less size to transfer and store on disk.
  • Bundle size may be reduced (although this depends on which versions of packages are used).

This change was applied in Gutenberg:

WordPress/gutenberg#61630

Quoting that :

> The `npm dedupe` command searches
> and attempts to simplify the overall structure of the local package
> tree to allow dependent packages to be shared more effectively. As
> detailed in #61532, reducing the amount of dependency duplication is
> beneficial for a few reasons:
>
> - Fewer packages overall.
> - Faster installation.
> - Less size to transfer and store on disk.
> - Usually bundle size is reduced (although this depends on which
>   versions of packages are used).
>
> However, unless the command is run regularly, the project's dependency
> tree easily falls out of order.

Setting this back to "draft." It will conflict with #7526 and I'd like that to land first.
