v4: Consider deprecation or removal of the IProfileTypeConfiguration interface

[t1m0thyj]

In Zowe V3, some properties on the IProfileTypeConfiguration interface were deprecated:

zowe-cli/packages/imperative/src/profiles/src/doc/config/IProfileTypeConfiguration.ts

Lines 49 to 51 in 1d2cdc9

	* @deprecated Only applies to V1 profiles. For team config, use nested profiles instead.
	*/
	dependencies?: IProfileDependency[];

zowe-cli/packages/imperative/src/profiles/src/doc/config/IProfileTypeConfiguration.ts

Lines 59 to 61 in 1d2cdc9

	* @deprecated Only applies to V1 profiles. For team config, validate with JSON schema instead.
	*/
	validationPlanModule?: string;

Once the deprecated properties are removed in V4, the only properties left will be type: string and schema: IProfileSchema. Since IProfileSchema also defines type, the IProfileTypeConfiguration interface may become an unnecessary wrapper that could be replaced with IProfileSchema.

Closing as invalid, since the IProfileSchema.type property is different from the profile type:

zowe-cli/packages/imperative/src/profiles/src/doc/definition/IProfileSchema.ts

Lines 28 to 33 in 1d2cdc9

	/**
	* Specify "object". This is not the type name
	* of the profile, but rather a description of the type of data structure (e.g. string,
	* array). Your profile will be an object with one or more properties.
	*/
	type: string;
