No exported type MessageFormatElement

Which package?

react-intl

Describe the bug

There is no exported type for compiled messages.

To Reproduce

Implement the code in the "message distribution" part of the docs and try to add a type for props.messages.

Reproducible Steps/Repo

Generate some compiled translations using the formatjs command. Resulting object looks roughly like:

{
  "2x0bZ6": [
    {
      "type": 0,
      "value": "There "
    },
    {
      "offset": 0,
      "options": {
        "=0": {
          "value": [
            {
              "type": 0,
              "value": "are no clients"
            }
          ]
        },
        "=1": {
          "value": [
            {
              "type": 0,
              "value": "is 1 client"
            }
          ]
        },
// etc...

Then implement the code in the "message distribution" step of the FormatJS docs. The messages prop of the AuthProvider expects the following type: (JSX attribute) messages?: Record<string, string> | Record<string, MessageFormatElement[]> | undefined but no MessageFormatElement type is exported by react-intl.

Expected behavior

There should be an exported type that can be used to type the compiled messages that are generated by formatjs.

Screenshots

Note: It looks like there used to be some type guidance in the docs, but it was wrong, so it was removed. See #1900

This is still an issue when using createIntl from '@formatjs/intl'
