@aws-sdk/types is a production dependency, but is full of empty JS files

[mhart]

Describe the bug

@aws-sdk/types is a production dependency of many modules in this project, but it is only made up of empty *.js files and has no use at runtime.

I believe it's only intended to provide type information – so a) there should be no *.js files and b) it should be in devDependencies instead of dependencies

This is something that should be fixed before GA so that ppl don't somehow rely on it being available without them installing it as a dev dep themselves (and also to save 500kb of production deps)
