Pull Request Overview

This PR removes the no-default-lib TypeScript compiler directive feature. The change ensures that default TypeScript libraries are always included in compilation unless explicitly excluded through compiler options, eliminating a source of confusion where individual files could opt out of standard library inclusion.

Removes processing and handling of the no-default-lib directive
Updates test baselines to reflect that default libraries are now always included
Marks the hasNoDefaultLib property as deprecated in the public API
