fix(typescript-eslint): declare peer dependency on utils to ensure npm correctly installs dependencies

[bradzacher]

PR Checklist

• Addresses an existing issue: fixes Bug: Type error when using ConfigWithExtends #8732

Overview

typescript-eslint is currently "naughty" and accesses types from /utils via a transitive dependency.
This means that the types we receive depend on how the package manager installs things.

pnpm and npm both do a bad job of installing dependencies in the most sane way (npm/cli#7300) and given the current ecosystem it's possible to get an old major for /utils installed at the root instead of v7. This means TS will get the incorrect types for /utils and then the config types break.

This adds a hard dep on /utils to force the relationship so that all package managers do the same thing and either hoist the /utils dependency to the root, or at least ensure that /utils is nested within typescript-eslint.

I considered making this a peer dep - but considering /eslint-plugin already depends on /utils - it's always installed (i.e. we're not adding an extra dep) - so no need to do anything complicated that might be misinterpreted by package managers.
