[WIP] As a dev, I want to discuss replacing trussworks/react-uswdsis

[shubhi-raft]

Description:
Need to further discuss what are the implications of replacing trussworks
We are using trussworks/react-uswdsis, a frontend USWDS component library, based on gov recommendation. Customizing USWDS theme color and font tokens for #172 was challenging due to unclear and not up to date documentation. The suggestion to use customize USWDS theme color and font could not be followed because trussworks/react-uswdsis, overrides all direct USWDS changes. Similarly, it has been challenging to customize the footer component because we are not able to add our own classes to some of the elements.

Furthermore, in the next sprint, we will be adding combo box feature #229. This feature has not been completely developed in trussworks and there is an active issue that is currently being worked on.

Given that trussworks/react-uswdsis is in active development, we would like to discuss replacing it and instead directly using USWDS components.

Per dev pairing session on 9/15, the team agreed that removing trussworks made sense going forward since some of the USWDS features are still in active production. trussworks may still be used as a reference when designing our own components moving forward.

Issue for removing trussworks has been created. #280.

@lfrohlich this can be closed. per our discussion, new issue for removal has been created.
