Upgrade eslint-plugin-import and enable consistent-type-specifier-style

[seancolsen]

• ESLint recently added a new rule consistent-type-specifier-style. Because this rule is auto-fixable, it will allow us to keep all our type imports organized well, avoiding problems when auto-adding imports.

• It appears that this feature is slated for inclusion in their next release, v2.27.0. When that release is available, we should upgrade to it so that we can enable this rule.

• Then we should configure .eslintrc.cjs as follows:

  {
    rules: {
      'import/consistent-type-specifier-style': ['error', 'prefer-inline'],
    }
  }

Unsure if this is helpful, but there will be a trio of settings to configure!

I'm closing this because I think it's irrelevant now that we're auto-sorting our entire import sections via #3552.
