Updates express from 4.22.1 to 4.22.2

Release notes

Sourced from express's releases.

v4.22.2

What's Changed

• fix: restore >20 array parsing for req.query repeated keys (8d09bfe6)
  • This also unifies array-cap behavior across notations. Indexed notation (a[0]=...) was historically capped at qs's default arrayLimit of 20 even in older qs versions; after this change it also allows up to 1000 items.
• deps: qs@~6.15.1
• deps: body-parser@~1.20.5

New Contributors

• @​suuuuuuminnnnnn made their first contribution in expressjs/express#7021
• @​SAY-5 made their first contribution in expressjs/express#7181
