switch from esm to tsm loader - #PLAT-853

Description

The CAS api node failed to run in dev with the error Error [ERR_LOADER_CHAIN_INCOMPLETE]: "ts-node/esm 'resolve'" did not call the next hook in its chain

@ukstv suggested switching to TSM loader to avoid this issue. See https://linear.app/3boxlabs/issue/PLAT-853/consider-moving-from-ts-node-to-tsm for further details.

How Has This Been Tested?

Able to run npm run start after switching to tsm loader locally. Need to test on dev, should we test by another method than deploying to dev?

• Test A (e.g. Test A - New test that ... ran in local, docker, and dev unstable.)
• Test B

@Sergey suggested to switch to TSM

https://github.com/lukeed/tsm/blob/master/docs/usage.md

do we want to do this, and if so we should do it soon?

Technical Information

If required provide a technical explanation of the work.

(note did not remove the ts-node package from package.json because typeorm still uses it)

I just tested this with docker-compose as well and sees to fix the issue

This fails using ts-node/esm
