Package Update for Vulnerabilities

[skalupa]

Describe the change
This PR updates all dependant packages of the project in order to address vulnerability issues, most notably for the certifi, requests, zipp, and setuptools dependencies which had open issues created by dependabot. Additionally, added in "package-mode = false" reference in pyproject.toml file in order to address inconsistency in nightly build which appears to be caused by the default python packaging in poetry builds which is not require to build this project. Finally, updated the changelog with recent changes to the project.

Describe testing procedures
Tested with local build of the project and local build of Strelka UI.

Sample output
