Add `gi.d.ts` index file

Question

Add `gi.d.ts` index file

Hi. Thanks for working on this!

I see there's now an option to generate an index tsconfig.json. Would it also be possible to generate a gi.d.ts file similar to https://gitlab.gnome.org/BrainBlasted/gi-typescript-definitions/-/blob/nightly/gi.d.ts?ref_type=heads where we can import just one file and have all the types available

@vixalien Good idea. Would this also solve #168 for you? Maybe a part of it?

Most definitely. In fact the project almost meets the requirements.

I can theoretically do this manually by concatenating the -ambient.d.ts into a gi.d.ts file and then deleting them as they won't be needed 😅 but an option would be highly appreciated.

I would also delete the -import.d.ts files as they would be unused.

@vixalien Is also now implemented with the latest version and is the default if package.json support is disabled. In addition to the gi.d.ts with all GIR types, an index.d.ts is now also generated. This means that in addition to all GIR types, all types including the GJS core types can be imported by a single file, now.
