feat: upgrade ts to 4.1.x

[Gozala]

Just updates TS to 4.1.x which fixes type generation for generic class extensions

Actually, this might cause issues, at least with libp2p. The generated build has issues with the Event Emitter per microsoft/TypeScript#41800. This will only get in 4.2

That got me thinking maybe we can avoid that problem by using https://www.npmjs.com/package/typed-events.ts and not have to wait for 4.2

Sounds good. Could you add it to libp2p/js-libp2p#831 ?
This will need a merge/rebase from 0.30 too. Perhaps better to open a new PR and copy the changes

yep i also need this to fix these

src/index.js:1:1 - error TS9006: Declaration emit for this file requires using private name 'Suffix' from module '"/Users/hd/code/pl/js-datastore-core/src/shard"'. An explicit type annotation may unblock declaration emit.

but i think this will break js-ipfs right @achingbrain ?

[vasco-santos]

Ok, let's just wait for their release (4.2) before updating our end

[achingbrain]

This will need running over js-ipfs too, ts 4.1.3 at least broke loads of things.
