Description

After trying to compile a typescript project, that contains `import { Table } from 'apache-arrow';` I get Typescript errors.

 

Steps to reproduce:

1. installed ` "typescript": "4.2.2"` and ` "apache-arrow": "^5.0.0",`
2. run `tsc --traceResolution`

 

Expected result:

Compiles without errors.

 

Actual Result:
```

======== Module name 'apache-arrow' was successfully resolved to '/.../apache/node_modules/apache-arrow/Arrow.node.d.ts' with Package ID 'apache-arrow/Arrow.node.d.ts@5.0.0'. ========
======== Resolving module './Arrow.dom' from '/.../apache/node_modules/apache-arrow/Arrow.node.d.ts'. ========
Explicitly specified module resolution kind: 'NodeJs'.
Loading module as file / folder, candidate module location '/.../apache/node_modules/apache-arrow/Arrow.dom', target file type 'TypeScript'.
File '/.../apache/node_modules/apache-arrow/Arrow.dom.ts' exist - use it as a name resolution result.

```

Since Typescript files live alongside Javascript files, NodeJS module resolution resolves `Arrow.dom` in the main file to `Arrow.dom.ts`, and all of the other .ts files imported there are being compiled.
