Add types for RegExp.escape

The RegExp.escape proposal has landed and will be included in es2025.

RegExp.escape("yay!");

Now it is included in node 24.0.0 (current release) and chrome 136 (v8 13.6)

As a workaround in nodejs I'm using the following code in one file (no d.ts)

declare global {
  interface RegExpConstructor {
    escape(str: string): string;
  }
}

const escaped = RegExp.escape('as1.2er')
