protobufjs v7.3.3 removed dist directory causing Cesium build to fail when resolving protobufjs/dist directory

[stevethewright]

What happened?

Version 7.3.3 has removed the dist directory causing Cesium to fail in the build process. This happened in v7.3.1 and a similar issue was created here (#12034). v7.3.2 brought back the dist folder and that issue was ignored.

✘ [ERROR] Could not resolve "protobufjs/dist/minimal/protobuf.js"
 node_modules/@cesium/engine/Source/Core/GoogleEarthEnterpriseMetadata.js:1:26:
 1 │ import * as protobuf from "protobufjs/dist/minimal/protobuf.js";

This can be fixed by manually installing v7.3.2.

As suggested in the previous issue, it would be ideal to lock the protobufjs version, especially since this happened a second time.

Reproduction steps

1. Update/install latest cesium version with v7.3.3 of protobufjs.
2. Build. (vite)
3. Error is shown.

Thanks for bringing this up @stevethewright. We'll lock the working version of protobufjs in package.json.

Opened protobufjs/protobuf.js#2022.

protobuf already released an updated version including the dist directory again so I'm going to close this protobufjs/protobuf.js#2023

Please update your npm packages
