• Upgraded Typescript from 4.9.5 to 6.0.3 (Can't use 7.0.x series yet, since some of our dependencies don't support that).
• Updated module format from the unsupported commonjs/node to node16.
• Upgraded dependencies.
• Removed deprecated API (with the exception of Portable).

Upgrading to a newer Typescript version made the checks more strict,
That unearthed some problems in the code, which I've also fixed.
Other than that, most changes are due to fix type annotations (by adding | null or | undefined) to match the intention.
The files in codec (except codec/builtin) are autogenerated, so they can be safely skipped.

NOTE: Please do not mind the "Check Links" workflow failure. The link to the package on npmjs.com cannot be loaded due to their AI-prevention mechanism.
