feat(egg): implement defineConfig helper for type intellisense (#5531)

This PR implements the `defineConfig` helper function that provides
type-safe configuration definition for Egg.js applications. Users can
now import and use it as:

```typescript
import { defineConfig } from 'egg';

export default defineConfig({
  keys: 'my-keys',
  middleware: ['cors']
});
```

## What's New

The `defineConfig` function supports two usage patterns:

**Static Configuration:**
```typescript
export default defineConfig({
  keys: 'my-secret-key',
  middleware: ['cors', 'bodyParser'],
  logger: {
    level: 'INFO'
  }
});
```

**Dynamic Configuration with Function:**
```typescript
export default defineConfig((appInfo) => ({
  keys: `${appInfo.name}_${appInfo.env}_keys`,
  middleware: [],
  customConfig: {
    version: appInfo.pkg.version,
    sourceUrl: `https://example.com/${appInfo.name}`
  }
}));
```

## Implementation Details

- **Type Safety**: Leverages existing `PowerPartial<EggAppConfig>` for
full TypeScript support with IntelliSense
- **Flexibility**: Accepts both static objects and factory functions
that receive `EggAppInfo`
- **Extensibility**: Allows custom configuration properties alongside
built-in Egg.js config options
- **Zero Runtime Overhead**: Simple pass-through function that preserves
the original config
- **Backward Compatible**: Doesn't break any existing configuration
patterns

## Developer Experience

The function provides excellent TypeScript support with:
- Auto-completion for all built-in Egg.js configuration options
- Type checking for configuration values
- Support for extending with custom business configuration
- Clear JSDoc documentation with usage examples

## Updated Templates

Only Egg4 scaffolding templates have been updated to demonstrate the
modern `defineConfig` usage pattern while maintaining the same
functionality. Egg3 templates remain unchanged to preserve backward
compatibility.

Fixes #5516.
