The import/no-cycle refactor had moved IBuffer, IBufferSet, and related
cell/line types into src/common/Types.ts, with buffer/Types.ts only
re-exporting them. That inverted the natural module boundary and made
buffer code depend on the top-level types hub.
Define buffer-owned types in buffer/Types.ts instead:
- CharData, IExtendedAttrs, IAttributeData, ICellData, IBufferLine
- IMarker, IBuffer, IBufferSet, BufferIndex
Restore UnderlineStyle to buffer/Constants.ts (used by IExtendedAttrs)
and remove those definitions from Types.ts.
buffer/Types.ts imports only what it needs from outside the buffer layer:
ICircularList and ICharset from Types, IDisposable from Lifecycle,
IEvent from Event, and UnderlineStyle from Constants. Types.ts does not
import buffer/Types.ts, so the previous Types <-> buffer cycle stays broken.
Update imports across common, browser, headless, addons, and tests to use
common/buffer/Types for buffer types rather than common/Types.

Fixes https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/issues/5896
TypeScript path mappings for common/*, browser/*, and headless/*
were not rewritten in emitted JavaScript, which forced webpack resolve
aliases and NODE_PATH workarounds so runtime could resolve modules.
That added build complexity and broke tooling such as ESLint import/no-cycle.
Changes:
- Convert ~750 imports across src/, addons/, and test/ to relative paths
- Remove common/browser/headless paths and src catch-all mappings from tsconfigs
(keep @xterm/addon-* demo and addon typings paths)
- Remove webpack resolve.alias for common, browser, headless, and vs
- Drop NODE_PATH from unit tests, benchmarks, and VS Code launch config
- Fix addon-image IIPImageStorage to import ./Types after removing catch-all *
Verified: npm run build, esbuild, package, package-headless
