Generate archive of historical analysis data

[andrewbranch]

This adds a package @arethetypeswrong/history, generated by a script that runs the core analysis on each package in npm-high-impact at different points in time. (Specifically, it generates analysis for the latest version of each package for its latest version available on the first of every month since January 2022. --moduleResolution nodenext was first released to stable versions of TypeScript in May of 2022, so there’s no need to go further back than this.) The result is a large archive of data that can be used to analyze how TS-compatible the most important npm packages are, and how that’s changing over time.

The generated analysis is saved as a 1.2 GB newline-delimited JSON file, cached in Azure Storage for incremental updates going forward, and compressed down to an incredible 34 MB to be shipped in the npm package. A small JavaScript interface decompresses the file and provides access to a POJO. I anticipate including smaller bundleable reduced datasets in the future, perhaps to allow trends in the data to be explored via web UI.
