Types exported from playwright-core, but not playwright

// this works
import { ElementHandle } from "playwright-core";
// this does not
import { ElementHandle } from "playwright";

Thanks @jperl! Collecting typing issues around specific methods is great, and any PRs are welcome. However, we plan to work on types soonish (probably hand-written .d.ts file), so general improvements like re-exporting types between packages will be probably lost during transition.

@dgozman Out of curiosity, what is the benefit of hand writing declaration files instead of exporting types directly from packages?

We can have different defaults externally vs internally (e.g. ElementHandle wrapping HTMLElement by default), have short documentation attached to be shown in IDEs, and not pollute types with internal methods starting with underscore.
