Pull request overview

This PR migrates OUDS Web’s positioning dependency from Popper.js to Floating UI, updating the library code, build tooling, documentation, and tests to match the new dependency and attribute conventions.

Changes:

• Replace Popper.js usage with Floating UI in core components (Tooltip/Dropdown) and introduce a new Floating UI utility module.
• Update documentation, CDN configuration keys, and migration guides to reference Floating UI instead of Popper.js.
• Adapt unit/visual tests and build scripts (Rollup externals, SRI generation, bundle size thresholds) for Floating UI.

Still think we should investigate a css version with anchor positioning for Dropdown but in the meantime LGTM

We need to check if this is compatible with dual mode or propose a way to make it work with the dual mode.
