Move @types deps to devDependencies

See original GitHub issue

There is a bunch of @types packages in dependencies, seems they should not be needed by the end user, just for the sake of keeping things clean.

I believe this is incorrect; for instance, you may want to use this repository programmatically to create your own customized TypeScript-enabled REPL. In such case, I believe the types need to be present for your dependent code to compile, but let me know if this is incorrect.

It depends on whether exported API uses those typings or not.

    "@types/arrify": "^1.0.1",
    "@types/diff": "^3.2.1",
    "@types/minimist": "^1.2.0",
    "@types/mkdirp": "^0.5.0",
    "@types/node": "^8.0.27",
    "@types/source-map-support": "^0.4.0",
    "@types/v8flags": "types/npm-v8flags#de224ae1cd5fd7dbb4e7158a6cc7a29e5315930d",
    "@types/yn": "types/npm-yn#ca75f6c82940fae6a06fb41d2d37a6aa9b4ea8e9",

I see that https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node/blob/master/src/index.ts#L29 exported interfaces don’t use them.
