Export VariantGroups and PatternOptions types from @vanilla-extract/recipes

[HorusGoul]

Like in #694, I need to create a wrapper for the recipe() function. The solution provided in that issue doesn't solve the actual problem.

#694 (comment)
You could always pull the types out with TS, for example:

import { recipe } from '@vanilla-extract/recipes';

type VariantGroups = NonNullable<Parameters<typeof recipe>[0]['variants']>;
type PatternOptions = Parameters<typeof recipe>[0];

Does this help?

In my case, something else is needed. The proper type is the same type recipe uses:

function recipe<Variants extends VariantGroups>(
  options: PatternOptions<Variants>,
  debugId?: string,
): RuntimeFn<Variants>

I need to be able to do precisely that, process the options parameter, and pass it to recipe. Not doing it this way would make the API for the consumer of my wrappedRecipe function not configurable with a type parameter like recipe.

In that same issue, someone mentions the reason behind not exposing these types:

michaletaranto: As a general rule, we try to minimise the API footprint as it makes us less vulnerable to breaking changes in the future

Good, this makes sense, but this is part of the public API; I should be able to generate the PatternOptions in any way I like, with complete type safety, which I won't have unless I can do PatternOptions<MyVariants>

PatternOptions and VariableGroups are already public but not exported. If the format for PatternOption changes at some point or we remove something, it will be a breaking change and will require a major bump for the recipes package.

So, in the hopes of reopening this discussion and making it easy to fix the problem, I've opened this PR 😄
