Enable oxlint's import/no-cycle rule (import plugin) so circular module
dependencies are caught in CI, similar to eslint-plugin-import/no-cycle
and biome no-import-cycles discussed in the issue.
Relocate shared types and dependencies to remove cycles under src/common:
- Types.ts: host IInsertEvent, IDeleteEvent, IParams, UnderlineStyle,
IBuffer, and IBufferSet; drop imports from CircularList, buffer/Types,
parser/Types, and Services
- CoreTerminal.ts: define and export ICoreTerminal
- ServiceRegistry.ts: define IServiceIdentifier (break Services registry loop)
- UnicodeService: stop constructing UnicodeV6; CoreTerminal registers the
default v6 provider after service creation
- buffer/Types.ts and parser/Types.ts: re-export moved types for callers

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
