Docs: Add our opinion on delegating stylistic issues to a tool such as Prettier #4907

Description

@JoshuaKGoldberg

Suggested Changes

We recommend people use Prettier or an equivalent tool for formatting concerns. You should not be primarily using ESLint to manage your whitespace. Linters are not well-suited to that concern.

I think this should be mentioned on the website somewhere. That way, when someone has troubles with formatting -or mentions it in the issue tracker- we have a good canonical docs site location to send them.

A few random supporting things:

Affected URL(s)

Maybe https://typescript-eslint.io/docs/linting/troubleshooting?
