Disable TypeScript checking in workspace templates

[Copilot]

Workspace templates are copied to .webiny/workspace/apps/* in user projects. Previously, these templates extended the user's root tsconfig.json, causing user TypeScript configuration changes (e.g., noPropertyAccessFromIndexSignature) to affect internal workspace code compilation.

Changes

• Removed inheritance from user tsconfig: Deleted extends property from all workspace template tsconfig files
• Added standalone minimal config: Set skipLibCheck: true and checkJs: false to disable type checking entirely
• Isolated workspace from user settings: Workspace code no longer adapts to user TypeScript preferences

Files Modified

• packages/project-aws/_templates/appTemplates/admin/tsconfig.json
• packages/project-aws/_templates/appTemplates/api/graphql/tsconfig.json
• packages/project-aws/_templates/appTemplates/api/migration/tsconfig.json
• packages/project-aws/_templates/appTemplates/api/fileManager/manage/tsconfig.json

Before:

{
  "extends": "../../../../tsconfig.json",
  "include": ["src"],
  "compilerOptions": {
    "composite": false
  }
}

After:

{
  "include": ["src"],
  "compilerOptions": {
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "noEmit": true,
    "allowJs": true,
    "checkJs": false,
    "target": "esnext",
    "module": "esnext",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "jsx": "react",
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "composite": false
  }
}

Original prompt

this file is part of a template, which is copied in users' projects into .webiny/workspace/admin/tsconfig.json.. basically we have a react app in there, which is hidden from users, and internally we're doing some code juggling in there.
all good, but....
we don't want typescript to be checking things in here. Sure, we'd want to do it.. but the problem is that users migh change some of theirs ts settings, which could cause issues in the workspace code.
For example, we're using someRecord.xyz, but users might want to adjust their ts config to only allow someRecord["xyz"]. We don't want the workspace code generation to adapt based on user's adjusted ts config, too much hassle.
So, as proposed.. let's just turn off typscript checking in the .webiny/workspace/admin folder.
Come to think of it, we want to turn it off completely for .webiny/workspace b/c it's not just admin that's in there, we also have api and core.

The user has attached the following files from their workspace:

• packages/project-aws/_templates/appTemplates/admin/tsconfig.json
