Replace device library with an alternative

[carmenfan]

Description

We're using device library to determine what is the device used by the user logging in through the useragent. This seems to be an abandoned project (last updated 5 years ago), and it has a dependecy on useragent which is another abandoned project that we've replaced in #5239.

Suggested solution

We want to use something that is more up to date to make sure we're protected against vunerability and provide us with up to date results, a quick google points me to https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-device-detector but there may be other options too.

Goal

• To replace an old, unmaintained device detection library with something more recent/actively maintained
• Device detection should still function as before (if not better!)

Tasks

TBC by the developer

Hi @jacobcons

This is a piece of work I carved out for an internal member to keep them busy whilst I sort out other things. Thank you for offering though!

@carmenfan No worries at all! I updated this pr #5390 to have full test coverage btw. Would love to get your thoughts when you have a chance, no worries if things are very busy.
