Deprecate @types/socket.io

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When using version 3+ of Socket.io the @types/socket.io should not be any used anymore. This is only briefly mentioned in the upgrade guide and easy to miss. Missing it causes all kinds of strange compilation problems.

Describe the solution you’d like Deprecate the typings so that a warning is shown on npm install.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

Additional context A guiding example could be the way it’s done for https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/classnames which upon installation gives

warning @types/classnames @2.3.1: This is a stub types definition. classnames provides its own type definitions, so you do not need this installed.

@Ahnert1 It means that with recent versions of socket.io the strong types are built-in and requires no additional packages.

Great!

$ npm i @types/socket.io
npm WARN deprecated @types/socket.io@3.0.2: This is a stub types definition. socket.io provides its own type definitions, so you do not need this installed.

@memark thanks a lot 👍
