fix: exclude unused files from publish process

[falsepopsky]

Issue

This pull request addresses the issue of including unused files in the publish process. ex: tsconfig.json and tsconfig-prod.json

Solution

With this pull request, when adding the src and docs folders to the files section in package.json, the build process will automatically exclude other unused files. Note that readme and license files are always included (for documentation purposes please refer to this link).

Before

After

1. run npm pack
2. To visually identify which files are packaged, you have two options:
   • Check the log for added files.
   • Extract the tarball to see the files.

Additional Comments:

• I had to add the suffix /dist to imports requiring @typescript-eslint/types because it was being inferred as any, leading to lint errors.

Could save a few more bytes by using an .npmignore file instead, as package.json (and in turn the files key and its contents) are published.

Thanks for the PR. I submitted another one which makes some fixes to tsconfig. However, that raises another question. While #1130 is seeking for the bundling of types, I'm not sure we want to add to the package size to do so, especially since an ESLint config file may have a different import approach then the rest of the package containing it.

I'm also wondering whether we should exclude /docs.
