Suggested Changes

Coming from conversation with @justinfagnani and @nicknisi on Mastodon - https://fosstodon.org/@justinfagnani/109429736825329365: neither consistent-type-exports nor consistent-type-imports include any explanation for why you'd want to use them on their docs pages. Unless you're deeply familiar with the context behind the export type / import type syntaxes and/or have worked in an environment that needs the rules, the two can seem unnecessary.

I poked around the official TypeScript resources and couldn't find a single cohesive explanation. This is a good opportunity for us to:

• Write a blog post explaining the situation behind them
• Briefly summarize the blog post & link to it in the rule docs
