Typescript Support: Don't force consumers to enable esModuleInterop in tsconfig

[ozyman42]

Because of this line it means that any project which consumes schema-utils either as a direct or transitive dependency must use the esModuleInterop tsconfig.json compilerOptions setting in order to compile their typescript.

Ideally we should not be forcing typescript users to add this setting if they don't want it. It also isnt necessary since in

Here's a demo:

1. git clone https://github.com/AlexLeung/webpack-schema-utils-ajv-typescript-error-demo
2. npm install
3. npm start

You will see the following output, including a tsc error

4. To fix you can navigate to ./node_modules/schema-utils/declarations/validate.d.ts then change line 43 from

import Ajv from 'ajv';

to

import * as Ajv from 'ajv';

5. Run npm start again and now the compilation succeeds.

The change described in step 4 is fine because we are only exporting types from the ajv package. I'll submit a PR for this shortly.
