feat: export types for package @excalidraw/excalidraw 🎉

[ad1992]

fixes #2514
pushed here

• excalidraw-app types are shared with core hence getting added, fix it so it doesn't get added.
  • Pre requirement fix: Don't share collab types with core #3353, reduces ~4 errors
  • Pre requirement Move storage and version to render prop in stats #3354, reduces ~1 error
• There are ~73 errors still when exporting types which needs to be fixed so all types are exported correctly, the build action is failing for same reason 😉
• update readme/changelog

There are ~73 errors

27 of them can be resolved by including "src" in the tsconfig. Not sure what side effect it'll have.

It will start including the other folders also for example tests, excal-app so I am adding the entry point of package so only those types are included, however excal-app is also getting added now as its shared so that we need to fix in core.

Then let's make the global.d.ts into a normal .ts file and start exporting/importing the types where needed.

Add lib in tsconfig-types and Add global.d.ts, and errors down to 39 :)

That also works.

Looks good, let's ship it! 🎉

The output is kinda sad — this microsoft/TypeScript#4433 should help, but it'll probably take years to get done :). Though someone made a rollup plugin to accomplish it more or less: microsoft/TypeScript#4433 (comment) — for other time, though.

Yep will try it out in next PR, also we might wanna publish the types under @types org so will check on the process for that as well.
