0.22.0

Updates:

• The type TSchema is now expressed as an HKT compatible interface. All types now extend the TSchema interface and are themselves also expressed as interfaces. This work was undertaken to explore recursive type aliases in future releases.
• The phantom property _infer has been renamed to $static. Callers should not interact with this property as it will always be undefined and used exclusively for optimizing type inference in TypeScript 4.5 and above.
• TypeBox re-adds the feature to deeply introspect schema properties. This feature was temporarily removed on the 0.21.0 update to resolve deep instantiation errors on TypeScript 4.5.
• The Type.Box(...) and Type.Rec(...) functions internally rename the property definitions to $defs inline with JSON schema draft 2019-09 conventions. Reference here.
