* [AI] Replace ts-node with Node native TypeScript execution
Node 22.18+ runs TypeScript files directly via type stripping, so the
ts-node dependency is no longer needed for the repo's helper scripts.
- Run bin/ and loot-core pack-hook scripts with `node` instead of `ts-node`
- Rename bin/*.ts scripts to .mts (unambiguous ESM, runs warning-free)
- ESM-ify validate-publish-imports: __dirname / require.main via import.meta
- Drop ts-node devDependency and the tsconfig ts-node override block
- Bump engines.node to >=22.18.0 (first release with stable type stripping)

After #1115, new Node.js versions will be able to be used for
development of the frontend. This PR changes the recommended Node.js
version to 18 (the current LTS version). I have also tested with 16 and
20 and it works.
I also took the opportunity to:
- move the build script that was at the project root to the `bin/`
folder
- update the `browserslist` to target Electron 24 (which is the version
we currently build against). This results in a slightly smaller bundle
due to no longer having to transpile optional chaining.
