Include type definitions directly in the package

[pbadenski]

Revisiting #92 reported back in 2015.

A lot has changed since 2015:

• TypeScript gained massive popularity and is no longer a "bleeding edge technology"
• both mongodb and mongoose incorporated typescript definition files in their repository

It's proving quite difficult for the users to have type definitions managed separately in DefinitelyTyped repo (see #327, #304, #332). For us it's a challenge each time we need to upgrade mongodb and mongoose dependencies - as the external types lag behind the actual updates of these libraries.

Following mongodb and mongoose - could I suggest including type definitions as part of this repo?

Would definitely merge that. Also thinking about rewriting the module in typescript to get the types generated. Any help appreciated.

As pull request is concerned - for the initial step would you be fine if I just move types from DefinitelyTyped to this project? Both are MIT licensed so there's no problem here.
