Expose MappedType in typescript.d.ts

从 src/compiler/types.ts 中内部 MappedType 接口附近开始，将其当前字段与所请求的公共 API 进行比较。查看链接的 typescript-eslint 规则示例，以了解使用方的需求。当 MappedType 通过 typescript.d.ts 暴露，并提供对所请求的 typeParameter、constraintType 和 templateType 的访问时，即表示完成。

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, new syntax sugar for JS, etc.)
• This isn't a request to add a new utility type: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/No-New-Utility-Types

⭐ Suggestion

Coming over from typescript-eslint, we need to look at the properties on mapped types for the @typescript-eslint/no-unnecessary-type-parameters ("Golden Rule of Generics") rule. But, MappedType is marked as @internal in TypeScript's definition:

https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/blob/22bbe867fd4b86e2187270f6c284e6cfd92a3fea/src/compiler/types.ts#L6584-L6594

Could we have that interface be public, please? Even if all the fields other than constraintType, templateType, and typeParameter are switched to @internal. I don't know of a more sanctioned way to access those type properties. Is there one?

📃 Motivating Example

Marking MappedType as public would provide a way for type checker API consumers to reason about mapped types.

💻 Use Cases

See https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint/pull/8173 & https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint/pull/9530: in typescript-eslint, we need to access a few properties of mapped types to check if they're uses of a type parameter. We ended up writing our own interface MappedType extends ts.ObjectType:

interface MappedType extends ts.ObjectType {
  typeParameter?: ts.Type; // #8173
  constraintType?: ts.Type; // #9530
  templateType?: ts.Type; // #9530
}
