Typechain 8.1.x no longer generates types for ethers-v5-target

We use hardhat/typechain to generate TypeScript types from Solidity source code and JSON ABIs.

require('@typechain/hardhat');
const path = require('path');
  typechain: {
    outDir: 'src/types',
    target: 'ethers-v5',
    externalArtifacts: [path.join(__dirname, 'src/contracts/**/*.json')],
  },
};
module.exports = config;

It stops working after upgrading to:

@typechain/ethers-v5 | ~10.0.0 -> ~10.1.0 |   |   |   |   – | – | – | – | – | – @typechain/hardhat | ~6.0.0 -> ~6.1.0 |   |   |   |   typechain | ~8.0.0 -> ~8.1.0

No errors are given, but src/types are not generated.

This was added so that our new plugin, a bundle of recommended plugins, could always install Typechain and not annoy js users. I moved that logic to the toolbox itself.
