Michael SnowdenandGitHub 1d6e8d5d6b Migrate from gofakeit to go-faker (#5269)
## What changed?
<!-- Describe what has changed in this PR -->
I migrated our usage of `gofakeit` to `go-faker`.

## Why?
<!-- Tell your future self why have you made these changes -->
Because `go-faker` does not handle circular references, which we have in
our `Failure` proto. See
https://github.com/brianvoe/gofakeit/issues/281#issue-2071796056

## How did you test it?
<!-- How have you verified this change? Tested locally? Added a unit
test? Checked in staging env? -->
I added a test which verifies that these cases are handled gracefully. I
also removed the workaround we had for this in our `ActivityInfo`
generator.

## Potential risks
<!-- Assuming the worst case, what can be broken when deploying this
change to production? -->
By default, this is less performant than `gofakeit`. However, by calling
`SetRandomMapAndSliceMaxSize(2)` (down from the default of 100), we have
comparable performance (on the order of 100 micro seconds for large
structs).

## Is hotfix candidate?
<!-- Is this PR a hotfix candidate or does it require a notification to
be sent to the broader community? (Yes/No) -->
No.
