Bad type declaration in "clean-webpack-plugin.d.ts"

[AxelEric]

Issue description or question

clean-webpack-plugin.d.ts

• have a wrong type declaration due to a bad use of ´import´ syntax.

  Your code ...

import { Compiler, Stats, compilation as compilationType } from 'webpack';
declare type Compilation = compilationType.Compilation;

• This give a type any to your Declared tyoe Compilation.

  Correction proposal ...

import { Compiler, Stats, Compilation as CompilationType } from 'webpack';
declare type Compilation = CompilationType;

• Another way is to, simpy forget your Type declaration ...

import { Compiler, Stats, Compilation } from 'webpack';
...//...
handleInitial(compilation: typeof Compilation): void;

• I'm not even sure 'typeof' is needed ...
