Instead of experimental decorators use the full version of decorators introduced in TS 5.0

Feature Description

I'm keen in keeping up my codebase modern, well maintained and doesn't want to be left out.

Now that decorators are a real thing with Typescript 5.0. It is finally the time to actually remove these two typescript configurations.

"emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
"experimentalDecorators": true,

This tech debt in typeorm blocks me from using the full version of the decorators introduced in TS5.0

The Solution

Here are some of the examples on implementing the decorators with experimental flags disabled.

Also, decorator metadata is introduced in typescript in 5.2

As typeorm is already on typescript 5.3.3. I don't see any issues in migrating the decorators.

Considered Alternatives

I don't see any alternatives for this issue. If we don't keep up with the constantly evolving typescript version, I'm afraid most softwares wouldn't be able to use typeorm.
