Small perf optimizations and experimental-strip-types compat

- Single-pass INFO field scan in _getVcfEndBytes: walk semicolon-delimited
  fields checking prefixes instead of two separate indexOf scans for 'S'
  and 'E' bytes that produce many false positives (~15% faster on 1kg VCF)
- Use type imports for interfaces (Options, Chunk, etc.) to support
  node --experimental-strip-types
- Add @typescript-eslint/consistent-type-imports eslint rule
- Use subarray instead of slice in TBI index parsing
- Restore missing TAB/NEWLINE constants
