Issue details

This issue tracks multiple issues related to splitting files in the /types directory into smaller units. Originally, this work was completed in #10831 but reverted in #11534 due to a bug in TSC. The issues below are listed in priority order.

• Blocker: [codegen/node] Add config to enable type splitting #11557
• Blocker: [codegen/node] Replace "@/" paths with their relative counterparts. #11560
• Optimization: [codegen/node] Remove empty types files #11561
• Potential Blocker: Colocate types with their resources #11565
• Clean Up: Close Reduce size of typescript input/output definitions files #8613
• Optimization: Localize TypeScript Imports #10442

Affected area/feature

A big +1 for this. Using the azure-native provider and creating just three resources, we're seeing:
