Using latest @loopback/cli emits error

[clewisln]

Describe the bug

Using the latest version of the cli to either create a new app or update an existing one causes a "camelCaseKeys is not a function" error to occur.

Have tried to run from global and have tried to use as a locally installed dev dependency that is then ran using npx; both fail in the same manner.

@loopback/cli is at version 7.0.10

After some digging, it appears that the 'camelCaseKeys' package is now an esm module, but is being required like commonjs in the cli.

Looking through the camelCaseKeys commit history, they made this switch 4 years ago, so no idea why this is surfacing now.

Since i do not use 'yo', I patched out use of the module and i am able to use the tool again. Obviously this isnt a great long term solution.

  // `yo` is adding flags converted to CamelCase
  const options = {}; //camelCaseKeys(opts, {exclude: ['--', /^\w$/, 'argv']});

@clewisln, thanks for reporting this. I've submitted PR #11398, which is pending for review now.
