feat: added types for encoding.js for ts packages to consume it

[ajaymathur]

Addressing issue cheeriojs/cheerio#4977

cheerio was dependent on whatwg-encoding which got deprecated in favour of @exodus/bytes and the consuming package https://github.com/fb55/encoding-sniffer/blob/master/package.json#L67 needs to be updated. The update failed at type check as encoding types were missing. Therefore added those.

Thanks!

This needs package.json adjustments, like

bytes/package.json

Lines 107 to 111 in 632fe0d

	"./hex.js": {
	"types": "./hex.d.ts",
	"node": "./hex.node.js",
	"default": "./hex.js"
	},

and

bytes/package.json

Lines 76 to 78 in 632fe0d

	"/hex.js",
	"/hex.d.ts",
	"/hex.node.js",

or this won't be packaged or loaded.

Will review/fix tomorrow

Can replace TextDecoder though
also pr title fest -> feat

Thanks for the review @ChALkeR @kewdex. I have updated the PR as per feedback. I think for now having types for encoding will have big impact by fixing deprecation warning in cheerio. Happy to wait for types for other files as the package builds.

[ChALkeR]

Looks good, thanks!

I'll also export these in the -lite version which has the same API but doesn't load multi-byte decoders by default.
