Inquirer.js

Now includes a stricter answer parser. Prior to this change, the prompt would default to Yes on almost any input.

Rewrote how raw input is handled. This shouldn't cause issue for most, but if you had specific or uncommon use of the testing framework, this could be a breaking change.

Fix issue with the default value disappearing from prompt.

Inquirer is now a native Node ECMAScript module. This will require your Node runtime to support es modules, and your app to be an es module. Node documentation over here: https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#modules-ecmascript-modules

If you cannot migrate, please remember you can keep using the v8.x release line until you're ready.
