yarn check-types builds a production bundle and creates untracked files

[nflaig]

Since we merged #6685, running yarn check-types has become really slow and at the same time also creates untracked files (see #6685 (comment))

My suggestion is to either revert the PR or come up with a proper solution as of right now this negatively affects developer experience.

It also fails randomly locally, and even in the CI (see #6685 (comment))

• fix build error
• no more untracked files as side effect of running build
• yarn lint should consistently pass, irrespective of running yarn check-types before
• move build out of yarn check-types to speed up time to run yarn check-types by 25%-30%

Noticed something else, running yarn lint before yarn check-types causes no issues. But if check-types is executed once locally, any lint runs will fail with the following

/home/nico/projects/ethereum/lodestar/packages/light-client/test/unit/webEsmBundle.browser.test.ts
  1:1  error  Unused eslint-disable directive (no problems were reported from '@typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-call')

That depends upon what lint is doing. We are doing linting on both src and tests. And when you lint test which are depending upon the build artifacts then you have to build first before linting.

move build out of yarn check-types to speed up time to run yarn check-types by 2x (or more)

That's for one package where needed and not for all packages. So in paractivce it's not slowing down 2x.

lint test which are depending upon the build artifacts

this is such a bad design, lint should never depend on build...and it never has until now.

Also right now it's vice versa, just running yarn lint will pass but if you run yarn check-types once locally, any yarn lint afterwards will fail (just give this a try yourself locally)

I meant by 50% but it's more like 25-30%, this is still bad enough imo
