reporter-earl: reporter type is not compatible with axe-core

[straker]

In TypeScript, trying to assign the reporter to axe.configure fails as the RawResult type that the reporter uses is not the same as the RawResult that axe-core uses.

I was surprised this wasn't caught in a test but then I discovered that the one test where we try to use the reporter assigns it as any so it's never type checked.

import reporter from '@axe-core/reporter-earl';
axe.configure({ reporter });

/*
error TS2322: Type '(rawResults: RawResult[], {}: {}, callback: Function) => void' is not assignable to type 'string | AxeReporter<unknown>'.
