Maintenance: Gitpod definition - deprecated tslint plugin

[niko-achilles]

Summary

Nowadays, as online resources tend to be unlimited and available, programmers may write code using services like gitpod. Contributing to powertools by using gitpod is a use case.

By looking at the definition of powertools for gitpod , i see the tslint plugin as required extension.
However the TSLint has been deprecated in favor of ESLint and the extension has also been deprecated in favor of ESLint's tooling.

Why is this needed?

Hi Niko, thank you for reporting this.

I'm okay with removing the extension from the configuration. While we do that, we should also remove it from this other config file, which is used by GitHub CodeSpaces.

I'll mark this issue as valid and open for contribution.

Note that, while important, there are other more high priority PRs being worked on at the moment, so allow us some light delay in the review of a PR.
