update @types/convict to allow nullable option

[kchow1985]

The current @types/convict version does not allow you to specify the nullable option for config values.

i.e.

type ConfigOptions {
  valueA: string
}

export default createProfiguration<ConfigOptions>({
  valueA: {
    format: String,
    env: 'SOME_CONFIG_VALUE',
    default: null,
    nullable: true // typescript will complain because v5.2.0 @types/convict definition does not define this property
});

The convict version on the package is ^6.0.0 which would be 6.2.4 if downloaded from npm, but @types/convict is 5.2.0 which should be updated to 6.1.1

@kchow1985 Feel free to create a PR with those updates and I'll happily review and merge

I agree @kchow1985 could have immediatley created a PR, but I wonder if this module is not maintained anymore?

Hi @MickL, I've been actively looking at new issues and any security-patch but unfortunately, I don't have enough capacity to contribute and develop more features. I believe there are some alternatives to just using zod; the project was left as is with a stable API.
It doesn't mean that any new contribution is not properly reviewed and merged, it just means that the authors as of now are not looking to develop any other feature to the project
