Fix JSDoc in default config #1740

Purpose: Fix the JSDoc in lib/config/default.js so that editors and IDEs can infer the type from the factory function correctly.

The installation steps for this project mention in step 3 that you should copy and paste a code snippet with a comment referring developers to a file at some relative path, which is confusing (lib/config/default.js... I saw this in my codebase and thought it was referring to some file in our app that got deleted). The proper way to offer documentation on the configuration API would be to either include it in @types or use JSDoc properly (ideally both).

Description

When I try to import the path using a JSDoc import, VS Code shows the type as () => any because of the @returns statement in the doc

Expected Behavior

My editor should be able to infer the return type of the definition function, or the default config options should be fully documented, rather than using the shortcut of @returns {object}.

Troubleshooting or NR Diag results

N/A

Steps to Reproduce

Using JSDoc , import the definition export and create a new @typedef

This shows Definition to have the type () => any

/**
 * @typedef {import('newrelic/lib/config/default').definition} Definition
 */

Then obviously this is just any

/**
 * @typedef {ReturnType<Definition>} NewRelicConfig
 */

Your Environment

Editor: VSCode
Node version: N/A but I see it with v16 and v18
OS: replicated on both macOS and Windows 10
node-newrelic version is 9.15

Additional context

I was able to solve this by removing a single line, so I was hoping someone else could take up this PR, because going through the work to figure out the CLA agent is going to be more work than the proposed fix.
