feat: Ability to exclude Jiti from deps and using native Node.js TS support

[krutoo]

Expected Behavior

Hi, I noticed that commitlint installs Jiti as transitional dependency

In my project I try to reduce deps amount and size

As I understand Jiti is a dependency of cosmiconfig

Is it possible to support such feature as make Jiti optional?

In modern Node.js it is possible to use TS out of the box (with limitations but for configurations it will be enough I think)

Current Behavior

Now Jiti is automatically installs with commitlint

Affected packages

• cli
• core
• prompt
• config-angular

Possible Solution

We still keep backward compatability for older node versions unless there is a good reason to change this.

So I guess we'll keep this for now. Maybe check in the cosmiconfig repo if there's a way to handle this better?

@escapedcat I'm not suggesting to break backward compatibility, I'm suggesting to make it possible to reduce the number of dependencies

Maybe there is a way to make some package, for example @commitlint/cli-minimal or @commitlint/cli-modern, that would be developed in parallel but would have a smaller size and number of dependencies and target to modern Node.js versions?

Sorry, we do not have the resources for such feature. Happy for any PR to optimize currently used deps.
