[chore] Updating rubocop to 1.63.5

Ryan Wells requested to merge ryaanwells/updating-rubocop into master

Why is this change being made?

Rubocop has gotten quite out of date and my local vscode is complaining about version mismatches. There may be another local fix that I could have done, but this update fixes my local env and stops us lagging as much with version updates so it feels like a good resolution!

Change includes updates to .rubocop-todo.yml to make the new cops non-blocking for future changes.

Local verification steps:

  1. Check out this branch and run bundle to get updated deps.
  2. Run bundle exec rubocop .
    1. NB: some new ignores were automatically added to .rubocop-todo.yml for existing code that doesn't pass new cops introduced with this version upgrade. This matches the process from the previous rubocop upgrade in !108887 (merged)
  3. rubocop should exit successfully.

You will see that the output will contain "The following cops were added to RuboCop, but are not configured." and then a list of non-configured cops. This isn't new (see this recent MR and associated rubocop pipeline stage) however the list does now contain more items. This should be cleaned up, and we can decide if it should be in scope for this MR or a subsequent one.
