Migrate from prettier-eslint to Biome

A fully automated Bash script to migrate from ESLint + Prettier to Biome. It initializes Biome, migrates ESLint and Prettier configurations, removes old config files, and updates package.json scripts. Designed for Bun environments with full Next.js ESLint compatibility.

#
# migrate-to-biome.sh
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 🔧 Purpose:
#   Fully automate the migration from ESLint + Prettier → Biome using Bun.
#
# 🧠 What it does:
#   1. Initializes Biome (if missing)
#   2. Migrates ESLint & Prettier configurations safely (handles Next.js)
#   3. Removes all ESLint/Prettier config files (including eslint.config.mjs)
#   4. Detects and removes old lint/format scripts
#   5. Removes all ESLint & Prettier dependencies
#   6. Installs Biome as devDependency
#   7. Adds Biome lint & format scripts with --write flag
#
# 🧩 Requirements:
#   - Bun installed and accessible (`bunx`, `bun add`, `bun remove`)
#   - jq installed (for JSON editing)
