Feature: autogenerated types

[Namchee]

Clear and concise description of the problem

When using unplugin-icons compared to dedicated library of icon pack such as lucide-react, I missed being able to auto complete when trying to import icons on my project as unplugin-icons only provides very generic type definition that is designed to cater all icon pack without having to worry what packs that are installed.

Suggested solution

We can generate stronger types as a postinstall script that scans the @iconify-json declarations and define modules for each of them with previews, same as what lucide-react does.

To this end, I've create a small proof-of-concept that generates better types for unplugin-icons based on what icon packs that are available.
