feat: Bumped default tsconfig target from es2016 to es2022

Benjamin-Dobell · Benjamin-Dobell · commit 5c5943e15de9 · 2025-09-17T13:31:16.000+10:00
All supported runtimes ought to support the 2022 standard. Can
still manually change the target if desired. This change is to
provide a better user experience by default.
