Use direct dependencies.

- **BREAKING**: Use direct dependencies and remove peer dependencies for
  packages required by recommended configs.
  - Setup and upgrades of dependant packages was problematic in some cases.
    Direct dependencies will simplify usage. More eslint related packages may
    be installed than needed depending on the configs used.
  - **NOTE**: This update will always install jsdoc, vue, and other related
    dependencies. A future update may split this package, or use other
    techniques, to reduce dependencies in common use cases.
  - **NOTE**: This setup does not cover configs that use plugins not used in
    the recommended configs. Use of the `import` config still requires manually
    adding and managing an `eslint-plugin-import` dependency.
  - Added dependencies:
    - `eslint-plugin-jsdoc`
    - `eslint-plugin-unicorn`
    - `eslint-plugin-vue`
    - `vue-eslint-parser` (peer dependency of vue plugin)
- Update dependencies and peerDependencies.
  - `@eslint/js@^9.38.0`
  - `eslint-plugin-jsdoc@^61.1.4`
  - `eslint@^9.38.0`

-- `@digitalbazaar/eslint-config/import`: Rules for es6 imports in the browser and node code.
-- `@digitalbazaar/eslint-config/jsdoc`: Rules for JSDoc for both node and browser code.

 For common use cases, there are recommended configs, that load the core rules:

 ### Dependencies
 
-**NOTE**: Currently the core and recommended configs may use dependencies that
-need to be installed in a project **manually**. This is to avoid requiring
-dependencies in this package. A future version may provide alternative packages
-with appropriate dependencies.
+**NOTE**: The core and recommended configs use dependencies that are
+automatically installed. Depending on the configs you use, there may be extra
+plugin dependencies installed that are not needed. This adds some development
+bloat but simplifies usage and dependency management. A future version may
+provide alternative slimmer packages with appropriate dependencies.
 
-Dependencies for jsdoc checks:
-```sh
-npm i -D eslint-plugin-jsdoc
-```
-
-Dependencies for module and node checks:
-```sh
-npm i -D eslint-plugin-unicorn
-```
-
-Dependencies for vue checks:
-```sh
-npm i -D eslint-plugin-vue
-```
-
-Dependencies for vue checks when using `legacy-peer-deps=true`:
-```sh
-npm i -D vue-eslint-parser
-```
-
-Most recommended configs use the jsdoc and module checks and dependencies.
+Notable dependencies that are always installed:
+- [`eslint-plugin-jsdoc`](https://github.com/gajus/eslint-plugin-jsdoc)
+- [`eslint-plugin-unicorn`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/eslint-plugin-unicorn)
+- [`eslint-plugin-vue`](https://eslint.vuejs.org/):
+- `vue-eslint-parser` (peer dependency of vue plugin)
