feat(types): add types for $eval (#6135)
This pulls in the types (based on the DefinitelyTyped repo) for
`page.$eval` (and the `$eval` method on other classes). The `$eval`
method is quite hard to type due to the way we wrap and unwrap
ElementHandles that are passed to / returned from the `pageFunction`
that users provide.

Longer term we can improve the types by providing type overloads as
DefinitelyTyped does but I've deferred that for now (see the `TODO` in
the code for more details).

## ElementHandle.$eval() method
This method runs `document.querySelector` within the element and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`<!-- -->. If there's no element matching `selector`<!-- -->, the method throws an error.
If `pageFunction` returns a Promise, then `frame.$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
<b>Signature:</b>
```typescript
$eval<ReturnType>(selector: string, pageFunction: (element: Element, ...args: unknown[]) => ReturnType | Promise<ReturnType>, ...args: SerializableOrJSHandle[]): Promise<WrapElementHandle<ReturnType>>;
```
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| selector | string | |
| pageFunction | (element: Element, ...args: unknown\[\]) =&gt; ReturnType \| Promise&lt;ReturnType&gt; | |
| args | [SerializableOrJSHandle](./puppeteer.serializableorjshandle.md)<!-- -->\[\] | |
<b>Returns:</b>
Promise&lt;[WrapElementHandle](./puppeteer.wrapelementhandle.md)<!-- -->&lt;ReturnType&gt;&gt;
## Example
```js
const tweetHandle = await page.$('.tweet');
expect(await tweetHandle.$eval('.like', node => node.innerText)).toBe('100');
expect(await tweetHandle.$eval('.retweets', node => node.innerText)).toBe('10');
```
