Expose `Keypair` from util-crypto/src/types.ts in util-crypto/bundle.ts

• What is the current behavior and expected behavior? Package util-crypto exposes sr25519PairFromSeed, which returns Keypair from ../../types.ts, but this type itself is never exported, so I cannot refer to it in my code.

• What is the motivation for changing the behavior? I don't want to have to use any to store a Keypair.

Hence -

import type { Keypair } from '@polkadot/util-crypto/types.ts';

const kp: Keypair = ...

That's ugly, though. I think you shouldn't make people rely on the internal file structure of a dependency. That's the whole point of using an index.ts or bundle.ts. To represent a whole project in a single collection of exported entities, potentially namespaced. But thanks, I didn't know it was allowed to import individual non-index files from a js/ts dependency.
