Migrate project to TypeScript with build system

[Copilot]

This PR migrates the entire project from JavaScript to TypeScript, including creating a build system to compile TypeScript applications. The TypeScript implementation maintains full feature parity with the JavaScript version.

What Changed

• Created TypeScript folder structure mirroring the JavaScript layout
• Developed type definitions for the io.Connect Desktop API
• Converted all JavaScript files to TypeScript with proper type annotations
• Set up webpack for building TypeScript applications
• Configured tsconfig.json with appropriate options
• Added npm scripts for building and installation
• Copied library files, app definitions, and workspace layouts to maintain compatibility
• Updated README.md with documentation on the TypeScript migration

Implementation Details

The implementation creates two parallel paths:

1. The original JavaScript version remains untouched
2. A new TypeScript version with identical functionality but with static typing

Structure

typescript/
├── solution/           # Solution applications
│   ├── clients/
│   ├── stocks/
│   ├── client-details/
│   └── portfolio-downloader/
├── start/              # Starter applications
│   ├── clients/
│   ├── stocks/
│   ├── client-details/
│   └── portfolio-downloader/
└── types/              # Type definitions
    └── io-connect.d.ts # Types for io.Connect Desktop API

Building TypeScript Applications

Each application has its own webpack configuration and can be built independently or together. The build system compiles TypeScript code and copies necessary HTML and library files to the distribution folder.

# Install dependencies for both start and solution
cd typescript && npm run install:all

# Build all applications
npm run build

# Build specific versions
npm run build:solution
npm run build:start

Fixes #2.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• cdn.fwupd.org
  • Triggering command: /usr/bin/fwupdmgr refresh (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to my firewall allow list

I don't want to use webpack, move to esbuild. Also out files should go to dist folder for each app and http-server should server from there

I've replaced webpack with esbuild as requested. Each app now uses an esbuild.js configuration file which builds TypeScript and copies static assets to the dist folder. I verified the build process works correctly for all applications. HTTP server was already configured to serve from the dist directories. Commit 30b7d0e contains the complete implementation.
