Update `typescript-eslint` to latest version

[9romise]

I've contributed to support TypeScript AST in #258, but I just find that it does not work well.

The reason is that dependencies in the typescript-eslint scope are only at v5.

"@typescript-eslint/parser": "^5.62.0",
"@typescript-eslint/types": "^5.62.0",

But some AST nodes have been changed in the latest version. For example: typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint#5384

Is there any reason for this?

The reason we're using an older version of typescript-eslint is probably so that the tests work with the Node versions we support.

eslint-utils/package.json

Line 86 in 161ffe1

"node": "^12.22.0 || ^14.17.0 || >=16.0.0"

It would be easier to maintain if we stopped supporting older versions of Node, but we haven't finished that work yet. Also, the alpha branch isn't up to date 😓

That's a shame 😔. It seems like no one is currently working on this.
Is there anything blocking the progress? Or is any help needed?

@MichaelDeBoey
I believe you were previously working on v5.0.0-alpha.
Do you have any plans? Or are you just not finding the time to work on it?

This is an issue for us as well!

I'm also willing to help advance this update if there is some direction or discrete tasks I can help on
