Use unjs/jiti instead of ts-node #30718
Description
What would you like?
Use https://github.com/unjs/jiti instead of ts-node to load cypress.config.ts or anything else, if any.
Why is this needed?
The last stable release of ts-node was a year ago: https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node/releases/tag/v10.9.2
There seems to be a clear maintenance problem, as can be seen here: TypeStrong/ts-node#2077
As can be seen in #30715, #30318, #30101, and others, TypeScript config loading has been problematic, due to the underlying tool, ts-node.
If Cypress switches to a more modern and maintained tool like unjs/jiti or https://github.com/privatenumber/tsx, most (if not all) problems would be solved. Since the tools are still actively being maintained, as opposed to ts-node, it will be more likely to get fixes for newly popping problems due to updated Node or TS specs.
