build: remove unneeded babel types postinstall patching (angular#53374)

These patches are no longer necessary with the current state of the
type packages and the code within the repository. The types are now
included in the already required babel.d.ts file for the relevant
babel packages (currently: `@babel/core` and `@babel/generator`).
