This PR reverts 1f484a2 to improve the compatibility with TypeScript by moving from exports.

TypeScript 4.7 supported exports but it requires moduleResolution set to Node16. This leads to some side effects like relative imports have to include the extename (import('../a.js') instead of import('../a')), and most importantly Node16 is not designed to be used together with bundlers in browser environments, as its name suggests and it brings some Node.js-specific requirements and behaviors.

TypeScript 4.9 may provide some moduleResolution modes that can support exports without introducing any Node.js-specific behaviors: microsoft/TypeScript#50152. However, at best it will release at the end of this year so this is not something we can rely on now.

The con of this PR is the TS outputs can clutter the dev filetree but it can be resolved with an additional build step (set the output path to /dist and when publish run npm publish ./dist) or a script to delete all outputs (seems the only case we build the TS is before publishing). Either of the workaround can be addressed in a separate PR/ticket.

Hey @Sergiobop 👋 ,

Thanks for using Quill! We still have some TODOs before a new release. I'm working on them and will get them done ASAP, but we don't have any ETAs to share at the moment.
