Issue Description

Sigh This is supposed to be a simple reproduction, but the playground cannot treat the current file as a .d.ts file, so I have to provide a repo.

Reproduction Repository Link

https://github.com/Josh-Cena/ts-eslint-repro

Repro Steps

1. clone the repo
2. yarn install
3. Go to index.d.ts -> see that the export {} is flagged
4. Comment it out, and go to another-file.d.ts -> see that I'm able to import a non-exported type.

The reason is because .d.ts files with only type exports are still seen as scripts. (microsoft/TypeScript#38592) However, when I'm developing a utility type library, I don't really want to use .ts files that only export types—using .d.ts files makes sure the file only contains typedefs, and do not need to be compiled.

I expect the rule to not report empty exports in a .d.ts file with only type import/exports.
