docs: blog post on parserOptions.projectService #8031

PR Checklist

Addresses an existing open issue: fixes Docs: Add blog post & revamped docs for parserOptions.projectService #7350
That issue was marked as accepting prs
Steps in Contributing were taken

Overview

Adds a blog post that describes using parserOptions.projectService (what we previously called parserOptions.EXPERIMENTAL_useProjectService). The flow is roughly:

Introduction: the old situation & an overview of the blog post
Configuration: how to switch over & replace traditional config kludge
Predictability: benefits of the new API & not having tsconfig.eslint.jsons
Scalability: project references support! 🙌
Performance: noting that it's theoretically faster, but not always -- and that that's being treated as a bug
Next steps: feedback, the standalone package, and hope for typescript-go

This was previously blocked on:

feat(typescript-estree): add allowDefaultProjectForFiles project service allowlist option #7752: for locking down how an "additional files / to be given default program type info" should look
feat: add support for flat configs #7935: for example flat configs in the post
Creating a set of example configs on a new, not-yet-created https://github.com/typescript-eslint/examples
Enhancement: Finalize naming for EXPERIMENTAL_useProjectService #9004
Creating and running performance comparisons on ~~a new, not-yet-created https://github.com/typescript-eslint/project-apis-performance-comparison~~ https://github.com/typescript-eslint/performance

This previously had a lot more content on single-run mode and performance comparisons. Both are removed for a more streamlined blog post.

Status update: this is roughly ready for review except parserOptions.projectService no longer outperforms parserOptions.project. That's being investigated in #9571. If we don't get enough fixes on our end & TypeScript's by the time v8 is meant to go stable, we'll have to rephrase the ⚡ Performance section.

+
+As of typescript-eslint@8.33.0, we've also extracted most of the Project Service code into a standalone [`@typescript-eslint/project-service`](/packages/project-service) package.
+It has no dependencies on ESLint and is designed to be usable for any linter to enable TypeScript's Project Service API for typed linting.
+See [Packages > Project Service](/packages/project-service) for more details.


Note that #10383 (comment) proposes a pretty big shake-up in other packages. I don't think it impacts this though. Just an FYI :)
