Microsoft Teams - Invalid Message Formatting

Describe the bug

Getting incorrect formatted message using MS Teams plugin. Text looks like escaped version with special characters like \n. For example:

To Reproduce

Enable microsoft-teams plugin and execute auto shipit

Expected behavior

Message in MS Teams channel looks closed to formatted version from generated CHANGELOG.md. E.g. there are URLs, multiline formatting and basic emoji icons.

Screenshots

Environment information:

Linux, sh
auto v10.29.3
git 2.20.1

Additional context

Message in MS Teams channel looks like escaped/serialized markdown version. I performed two tests:

1. Copy message from MS Teams channel and resend it via Postman using MS Teams Web hook URL. As result got well formatted text (more-less, because URLs links was missed)
2. I copied text from generated CHANGELOG.md file, perform JSON string escaping and send it it via Postman using MS Teams Web hook URL. As result got well formatted text (only few icons were missed, but this is MS Teams related issue).

Based on this, I conclude that MS Teams API works fine but issue is with formatting on sender side.

For example what I did manually and hat works fine: source text from CHANGELOG.md:

:tada: This release contains work from a new contributor! :tada:

May be somehow related to sanitizeMarkdown() function inside https://github.com/intuit/auto/blob/main/plugins/microsoft-teams/src/index.ts and https://github.com/intuit/auto/pull/1914 changes.

@mathieubergeron @reintroducing @vincentbriglia I can confirm that removing jsesc from the mix now creates nicely formatted release messages in Teams (we create a copy of the plugin wihin our repo and remove jsesc and all is good 👍🏻 )

@mathieubergeron @reintroducing i would have never pushed anything that didn’t work at the time, there is no way of double checking now, but it worked for 1 commit and immediately after we got this garbled content also - we just haven’t prioritized the work on our end. Feel free to create a PR, @hipstersmoothie will pull it in without doubt.
