Follow-up to https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/issues/5896 / PR #5966.
Converting addons to ../../../src/common relative imports broke unit tests:
esbuild emits addon code under addons/*/out-esbuild/ without mirroring the
shared tree, so Node could not load TypeScript sources at runtime
(Cannot find module '../../../src/common/Lifecycle').
Core src/, test/, and headless continue to use relative imports with no
common/* path mappings. Addons keep the prior model until build layout
can share out-esbuild the same way as the main package.
Changes:
- Restore common/* and browser/* paths in addon src/test/benchmark tsconfigs
- Revert addon imports to common/ and browser/ path-mapped specifiers
- Restore NODE_PATH=out-esbuild in bin/test_unit.js for Mocha resolution
- Restore webpack resolve.alias on addons that bundle against out/
Fixes CI test-unit failures on remove-path-mappings-5896.

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
