Use @types/react-native-calendars instead of default react-native-calendars types

Description

Default typescript types from react-native-calendars are not correct. I want to use @types/react-native-calendars, because this lib define types right

Expected Behavior

Correctly define types for lib

Observed Behavior

react-native-calendars not correctly define types, some types are incorrect or marked with any. @types/react-native-calendars does not replace them after installation

Environment

"react-native": "0.64.1"
"react-native-calendars": "^1.1255.0"
"@types/react-native": "^0.64.0"
"@types/react-native-calendars": "^1.505.2"

Reproducible Demo

error TS2305: Module '"react-native-calendars"' has no exported member 'DateObject'.

3 import {DateObject} from 'react-native-calendars';

A better workaround, esp. if you want to use recent version, is to just add this to your tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
...
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "paths": {
      "react-native-calendars": ["node_modules/@types/react-native-calendars"]
    }, 
...
}

This tells TS to use @types/react-native-calendars instead of the inbuilt types which break everything.
