Drop @types/react peer dependency from ^18.2.25 to ^18.0

[simonepizzamiglio]

Overview

According to the DefinitelyTyped project FAQ here, @types dependencies should align with the MAJOR.MINOR of the source project, while the PATCH version is managed independently.

Because the version is listed as 20.8.9999, the npm version of the @types/node package will also be 20.8.x. Note that the version in package.json should only contain major.minor version (e.g. 10.12) followed by .9999. This is because only the major and minor release numbers are aligned between library packages and type declaration packages.

This alignment helps prevent dependency duplication in the node_modules folder, particularly for projects using pinned or tilde versions.

Below is an example of a project with the @types/react dependency version lower than the one required by the current react-redux project peer dependency.
This is the output of running yarn install:

Here is is the output of running yarn explain peer-requirements <hash>:

This output advises the user to update their dependencies to match those required by react-redux in order to avoid duplication.

Are we dependent on anything from 18.1 or 18.2?

[markerikson]

I'm not sure. I feel like there was something in 18.2-ish that mattered when we made that change, but I don't remember the specifics.

#2092 I think?

[markerikson]

Ah, yes, that sounds right.

Given that I think we should close this. Thanks anyway!
