Currently, Component and Class have the options to add custom type. In the case of class, It's already working fine with an empty string in type but in the case of component When setting the type to an empty string the file names generated will contain an extra period (.) which breaks the flow.
With this PR, It will generate the files without an extra period (.)
Reference #16811 and #16891
This aligns options that do the same thing:
1) `skipSpecs` and `spec` has been deprecated in favor of `skipTests`.
2) `styleext` has been deprecated in favor of `style` since the latest is two words.
Fixes#12784
This should clean up the code a bit.
Note: at first I added the no-useless-cast rule, but after getting frustrated
with it (as it has many false positive), I decided to remove the rule but some
useless casts were removed so I let those in the PR.
