feat!: migrate ESLint 3 to ESLint 9 flat config with typescript-eslint

Replaces ESLint 3.3.1 + unmaintained eslint-plugin-shopify v13 with
ESLint 9 flat config + typescript-eslint v8. This enables type-aware
linting for .ts files during the ongoing TypeScript migration.

Key decisions:
- 22 TypeScript rules configured (12 PRD-specified + 10 additional
  safety rules including switch-exhaustiveness-check,
  prefer-nullish-coalescing, consistent-type-imports)
- src/types/ override suppresses known any/Function debt (deferred to PR 20)
- Test files excluded (test linting added in Phase 5)
- src/utils/ and src/styles/ now linted (18 files previously excluded
  by .eslintignore workaround)
- Removed redundant lint from test script (CI already runs lint separately)
- Used fileURLToPath workaround for __dirname (Node 18 compat)

Also fixes lint violations found by expanded coverage:
- hasOwnProperty -> Object.hasOwn() in product-set.js
- Removed unused isObject function in merge.js
- Removed unused element param in frame-utils.js
- Removed unused err binding in ui.js
- Cleaned up stale eslint-disable directives across 4 files

BREAKING CHANGE: ESLint config format changed from .eslintrc to
eslint.config.mjs. Any custom ESLint integrations must update.

+12. The system must migrate from ESLint 3.3.1 to ESLint 9 flat config with @typescript-eslint. The authoritative rule configuration is in `eslint.config.mjs`. The rule set includes 22 TypeScript rules across three categories:
+    - **Error-level (12 PRD-specified + 6 additional safety rules):** `no-explicit-any`, `no-unsafe-assignment`, `no-unsafe-member-access`, `no-unsafe-call`, `no-unsafe-return`, `no-unsafe-argument`, `no-floating-promises`, `no-misused-promises`, `await-thenable`, `no-unnecessary-type-assertion`, `consistent-type-assertions` (assertionStyle: 'never'), `no-non-null-assertion`, `switch-exhaustiveness-check`, `prefer-nullish-coalescing`, `consistent-type-imports`, `no-unnecessary-condition`, `return-await` (in-try-catch), `require-await`
+    - **Warn-level (upgrade to error after Phase 4):** `explicit-function-return-type`, `strict-boolean-expressions`
+    - **Warn-level complexity:** `max-depth: 3`, `complexity: 15`
+    - Note: TypeScript rules only apply to `.ts` files. JS files get `eslint:recommended` + browser globals. `src/types/` has an override suppressing known `any`/`Function` debt (deferred to PR 20).
 13. The system must migrate the build system from Rollup 1 + Babel 7 + UglifyJS to Vite library mode, producing UMD, ESM, and CJS outputs. Output bundles must be functionally equivalent to pre-Vite builds (same exports, same UMD global, similar size).
 14. The system must migrate the test framework from Mocha + Testem + Browserify to Vitest + happy-dom, in two steps: runner swap (PR 7a) and Sinon → vi migration (PR 7b).
 15. The system must modernize aws-sdk v2 to @aws-sdk/client-s3 v3 in the CDN deploy script (`script/deploy.js`), replacing `@shopify/js-uploader` entirely (incompatible with v3's API).
