TypeScript project references enhancements

[samreid]

In #1356 we added project references. Here is a list of next steps for improvements and enhancements. Note that some are already tracked elsewhere such as #1468 and #1467 and #1466

• should grunt lint-everything trigger phet-vite-demo to lint? (separate issue) see Update lint.js now that we are using ESLint 9 #1484
• buildjson defines a large bundle, which means that everything in buildjson needs everything else in buildjson. This should be made more modular probably. See Attempt to modularize tsconfig/buildjson/ #1488
• Get rid of collate-lint.ts
• Improve paths in tsconfig/buildjson.json see Attempt to modularize tsconfig/buildjson/ #1488
• Should lint-all do multiple in one batch? Or separate? Do we still want progress bar? See Update lint.js now that we are using ESLint 9 #1484
• grunt lint-everything no longer works with --chip-away Update lint.js now that we are using ESLint 9 #1484
• lint-all is taking longer See Update lint.js now that we are using ESLint 9 #1484
• Make sure simula rasa updates its package.json to point to tsconfig. and its tsconfig is good.

Working from the above patch now

[zepumph]

All TODOs pointing here are complete. Last couple of items over to @samreid for comment.

[samreid]

Make sure simula rasa updates its package.json to point to tsconfig. and its tsconfig is good.

I wasn't really sure what that meant, but I reviewed the changes in simula-rasa, and tested grunt create-sim --repo=test-repo --author="Test Author" and it worked OK and tsc -b worked well in it.

Closing.
