Add support for native TypeScript

Fixes #921 by @sarayourfriend

Description

Adds support for native TypeScript by adding the following dependencies:

• @nuxt/typescript-build -> This adds TypeScript to our build pipeline
• @typescript-eslint/* -> These packages enable TypeScript parsing and recommended rules for ESLint
• @babel/preset-typescript -> This adds TypeScript to the babel configuration we use for running jest

Additionally, I've had to add a .pnpmfile.cjs (documentation for that here) in order to force resolve typescript to a modern version. We need this because @nuxt/typescript-build uses an older version of TypeScript that doesn't support some of the TS features we were already using (like casting to const with JSDoc and type parameter defaults in JSDoc).

Finally, I've converted deepFreeze to be native TypeScript to prove that this works top to bottom.

Testing Instructions

Checkout the branch and run pnpm dev. Ensure the application compiles with no errors. Visit the search results page to make sure that deepFreeze is actually being run and verify that there are no errors.

Make some changes to the code that will fail TypeScript compilation. For example, in deepFreeze.ts add the following:

const n: number = '123'

Confirm that pnpm types fails and that pnpm dev spits out a compilation error.

Finally, test the ESLint integration by adding something that will fail eslint in a TypeScript file and verify that the error shows.

The jest integration is tested by the tests passing locally and in CI. Ensure they pass locally by running pnpm test and check that the CI passes them as well.

Some magic with pnpm configurations, and lots of ts-ignores to take care of :)
I did everything in the testing instructions, and it works.

lots of ts-ignores to take care of

Only two! And I think they're 100% legitimate uses of ts-ignore FWIW; that deepFreeze function is very "meta-JavaScript-y" in a way that TS doesn't really like (which is fine as long as we have good unit tests to verify behavior, then the external API of the function can be accurate according to the tests and we're free to ts-ignore, in my opinion)

Oh, sorry for misunderstanding. I actually saw the GitHubts-ignore warning for src/components/VAudioTrack/VAudioTrack.vue, and a lot of warnings about require.
