Major updates

eslint                              7.17.0  →    8.15.0
jest                                26.6.3  →    27.5.1
jest-create-mock-instance            1.1.0  →     2.0.0
ts-jest                             26.5.6  →    27.1.4

jest has only been updated to version 27, as an update to 28 would need to be looked at more closely (compatibility with jest-create-mock-instance, etc.).

The coveralls package seems to be unmaintained and has been replaced with coveralls-next.

The following major updates were intentionally omitted for now, as these need to be looked at more closely:

chalk                                4.1.2  →     5.0.1
rxjs                                 6.6.7  →     7.5.5
supports-color                       8.1.1  →     9.2.2

Thanks.

The non-dev major upgrades must be done with care not to introduce breaking changes (e.g. dropping support for some Node.js version)

I totally agree with you! (I even took a quick look at the changelogs for the minor updates included in this pull request)
