What happened?

When TypeScript is selected in create-wdio starter, dependencies with types are missing.

The tsconfig.json usually references the following globals:

"types": [
    "node",
    "jasmine",
    "@wdio/globals/types",
    "expect-webdriverio",
],

but corresponding dependencies are missing in package.json, so I have to add them manually: pnpm i -D @types/node @wdio/globals expect-webdriverio

What is your expected behavior?

I would expect missing dependencies with types to be explicitly listed in package.json

How to reproduce the bug.

1. pnpm create wdio@latest
2. Choose "E2E testing", agree to use TypeScript
3. Open tsconfig.json in VSCode and it will complain
