Part of #24873

What I did

Moves all @types packages into dev dependencies. None of the types from the mentioned packages are exposed as part of the lib, so they don't need to be in regular deps list.

How do you know?

The runtime implementations are normal dependencies too, so they could be exposed.

It's easy for a future change to start exposing them, and then it's easy to forget to move to a regular dependency again, because there's little to no verification mechanism, other then users telling us they are experiencing errors.

I'm not convinced the pros outweight the cons, here.

I'm not convinced the pros outweight the cons, here.

I manually checked each of the moved @types packages and saw that none of the library-specific types were exposed. For example when using node-fetch, the function uses it internally, but only returns a boolean to the caller.

I do agree that this can change at anytime though. So perhaps for #24873, I can limit the changes to node-fetch to fix that error and revert the others.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Wow, I did not realize you check them all. Thanks for being so thorough @kyletsang ❤️

I think I'll proceed with this PR then.
