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

Extract the per-line lookup index from DecorationService into an exported
DecorationLineCache class in the same module, with DecorationService listed
first for readability.
Optimize buffer insert/delete maintenance to shift map keys in O(unique
indexed lines) instead of full re-indexing every affected decoration. Only
multi-line decorations that span the mutation point get a full re-index.
Add a direct DecorationLineCache unit test in DecorationService.test.ts.

Refs #5176.
forEachDecorationAtCell and getDecorationsAtCell previously scanned every
registered decoration on each call. With thousands of search highlights this
becomes O(total decorations) per cell and blocks rendering during viewport
refreshes.
Maintain a Map of buffer line -> decorations that cover that line. Multi-line
decorations are indexed on every line in their span, so mixed single-line and
multi-line workloads stay fast without falling back to a full scan.
Keep the index aligned with buffer mutations:
- Register and unregister decorations in the line buckets on add/dispose.
- On trim, shift line keys synchronously (before marker handlers run).
- On insert/delete, re-index affected decorations in a microtask after marker
line updates are applied.
Inject IBufferService so line listeners follow the active buffer. Add unit
tests for trim, dispose-on-trim, insert, and dense single-line plus multi-line
lookup. Add DecorationService.benchmark.ts to measure sparse hits and
viewport-sized grid scans with 20k decorations.
