fix: upgrade svgo to latest version and make sure the comman uses recursive flag to traverse all files

[rahultyagidev]

Overview

We noticed that svgo was on a very old version and did not support the recursive(-r) flag and hence doing yarn run format was not doing anything. This PR updates the svgo version to the latest and removes the yml config in favor of the new config format.

Just to check — Is this intentional? Did a formatting script do this?

[rahultyagidev]

Yes this is intentional this was breaking for Neovim, lt looks like ; is not allowed on line ends

[LinKCoding]

Do you know if this Is this still necessary? Is it a dependency of some other package?

[rahultyagidev]

@LinKCoding I think it's coming from svgr/cli, but looking at the repo I don't think if we are using it anymore, will it be safe to remove this package?

[dreamwasp]

thanks for doing this! i took a look at removing svgr/cli locally and it seems fine to remove. will ✅ once i've looked at the monorepo with that package removed just to be sure.
