Typescript compiler imports index.d.ts instead of index.js

Hi!

Thanks for a great module! :blush:

Since version 2.0.0 async-redis is no longer working with typescript. it seems like tsc is loading src/index.d.ts file instead of src/index.js.

Reproducible steps:

create a new project
create index.ts
install async-redis
write this line of code: import { createClient } from 'async-redis';
compile index.ts: tsc index.ts

I am using typescript 4.3.2 version.

Seems like the types that are shipped with the packages are missing a lot of essential type declarations. Only way I got it to work for now (I know it's ugly) is to install the @types/async-redis package and add a post-install hook to my package.json scripts that removes the types that are shipped with the package (like so "postinstall": "rimraf ./node_modules/async-redis/src/index.d.ts"). This way the types from @types/async-redis are loaded instead, which at least makes it workable in a TS project.
