Codefix `convertTypedefToType` creates types in a wrong place

[egorio]

Currently "typedef to type conversion" doesn't care about the place where type is generated, resulting broken code if the type if generated inside the class / interface etc.

It's better to generate class in closest SourceFile root, namespace root or even function body in case the comment containing @typedef is placed at any other place of the code.

💻 Code

class Example {
  /**
   * List of items to be rendered in the bar chart
   * @typedef {{ count: number }} Counter
   * @returns {Counter}
   */
  get something() {
    return { count: 0 };
  }
}

🙁 Actual behavior

class Example {
  type Counter={ count: number; };     // <- bug is here
  get something() {
    return { count: 0 };
  }
}

🙂 Expected behavior

type Counter={ count: number; };

class Example {
  /**
   * List of items to be rendered in the bar chart
   * @returns {Counter}
   */
  get something() {
    return { count: 0 };
  }
}
