@lwc/state Typescript definitions no longer typecheck updating functions

[simonfcodes]

Summary

Previously, I was able to use my own typescript definitions to define the shape of returned state from defineState function - now, the typescript definitions shipping with the CLI force my updating functions to be of type (...args: unknown[]) => void - whereas I was previously able to enforce type checking at the call site of an updating function.

Steps To Reproduce

Example repository, with my type definition file, and two example LWCs with comments.

1. Implement a new Typescript-enabled SFDX project
2. Define state manager using defineState function
3. Wrap a call to setAtom inside an updating function
4. Export the function in the return statement. Typescript will provide an error if the exported function is not typed as (args: unknown[]) => void

Expected result

Functions returned as part of defineState should be correctly typed.

Actual result

Functions returned as part of defineState need to be typed as (...args: unknown[]) => void to prevent errors.
