Expanded all 315 instances type into a separate module

[AeroUtilities]

The Instances type in create.luau only had 19 instance types written.

I decided to create a types folder and the types/instances.luau module covering all the built in instances in Roblox Studio that were sourced from the Roblox API dump. That way the autocompletion for any of the missing instances works in IDE's.

All of the instances may not be used with vide but you can definitely make cool projects even with creating plugins with the instances!

Changes:

• Added src/types/instances.luau
• Required src/types/instances.luau into src/create.luau
• Refactored the type Instances to use the instances.luau module

Hope this is helpful!

a lot of these are unnecessary. this is a UI library

Understandable. I did mention that not all instance may be used, but I wanted to keep the scope wide so nothing is left out.

I also noticed there's a defaults.luau that includes a part table with default properties and the part instance isn't really a UI instance. It might have not been included in the Instances type table but it removes the type errors at least having a full scope of instances.

There are some missing UI instances in the list like UIStroke and many others hence why I decided to source all the instances from the Roblox API Dump.

    },
}

No idea how luau actually decides this, but on my end it just gave up typechecking because "type too complex" when I had too many entries in the Instances type.
