[Dev] Improve typescript performance and version bump node and dependencies (#6627)

* Add caching for test matchers types to improve ts performance

* add skipLibCheck to tsconfig.json

* Bump package versions

* Move tm species map to its own file

* Turn on ts-nocheck in pokemon-level-moves

* Move initBiomes to own file

* Add types to methods in ME encounter phase utils

* Fix spacing
