feat: use type=module in (most) generated projects

With the exception of Nighwatch templates due to nightwatchjs/nightwatch#3959

Closes #389
Largely inspired by @cexbrayat's work in that PR.

I've also made the generation of the root `tsconfig.json` programmatic
because it's becoming more and more convoluted.
