Permissive wrapping, fix global pollution and export types

Adds permissive wrapping of the fetch function while retaining the original typing of the wrapped library. This enables us to handle that there are slight variations between fetch implementations in node.

This change also removes the need for the triple-slash directive which polluted the global namespace with DOM typings. The new version also exports all the types defined in the library for good measure.

Many thanks to @alecmev for providing an excellent PR which made these changes possible.

Type definition of the defaults parameter

Adds type definition for the defaults parameter in the fetchBuilder function. Previously it was mistakenly typed as object which was not very helpful.

Many thanks to @simeonborko for reporting the issue and providing the PR.

Fix type definition to support URL instance

Fixes a bug where URL instances could not be passed as the first argument to the wrapped fetch function.

Many thanks to @afmelsaidy for reporting the issue and providing a pull request.

Adds example on how to use with Node.js fetch and fixes failing tests

• Adds an example on how to use with Node.js fetch API which became available in version 18.
• Fixes failing tests when running Node.js version 18, which failed due to using an older version of node-fetch, resulting in having multiple versions of the Request object.

Security updates: minimist

Updated dependencies and fixed security issues reported in dependencies, most notably minimist.

Bug fixes and security fixes

• @pwambach fixed an issue where typescript definition no longer was valid. The fix was to use a default export instead.
• @bamse16 fixed an issue where npm install for production and ci would fail due to husky being defined as a dev dependency
• Security fixes, including a high severity issue for node-fetch.

Thanks for all the contributions, and apologies for taking a long time to merge the fixes.

Bug fix for node environment

Fixes a bug (#63) introduced in version 5.0.0 where support for the Request argument was added. The initial implementation introduced a runtime error for the node environment.

Many thanks to @paulrosania for reporting the issue, and to @knotthere for creating a PR with the suggested fix.

Improvements and bug fix

This release includes a bundle of improvements and a bug fix. Due to the renaming of the IRequestInitWithRetry interface, I have created a new major release to attempt to mitigate any potential breaking changes.

Included in this release:

• Rename IRequestInitWithRetry to RequestInitWithRetry and export the interface (@christophehurpeau)
• Use rollup.js to support UMD builds (@dwiyatci)
• Adding support for Request argument (@knotthere)
• Added integration tests for Request argument and URL type (@jonbern)
• Added husky pre-commit script to build project and run tests (@jonbern)
• Upgrade dependencies to fix security warnings

Many thanks for all the contributions for improving this project. It is greatly appreciated! 🙏
