Add TypeScript to the build system (#13489) This commit modifies the build system so that TypeScript files can be transpiled into ES5 just like JavaScript files. Note that this commit does NOT change the build system to run TypeScript files through the TypeScript compiler. In other words, no files will be type-checked at the build stage, as we expect type-checking to be handled elsewhere (live, via your editor integration with `tsserver`, and before a PR is merged, via `yarn lint`). Rather, we merely instruct Babel to strip TypeScript-specific syntax from any files that have it, as if those files had been written using JavaScript syntax alone. Why take this approach? Because it prevents the build process from being negatively impacted with respect to performance (as TypeScript takes a significant amount of time to run). It's worth noting the downside of this approach: because we aren't running files through TypeScript, but relying on Babel's [TypeScript transform][1] to identify TypeScript syntax, this transform has to keep up with any syntax changes that TypeScript adds in the future. In fact there are a few syntactical forms that Babel already does not recognize. These forms are rare or are deprecated by TypeScript, so I don't consider them to be a blocker, but it's worth noting just in case it comes up later. Also, any settings we place in `tsconfig.json` will be completely ignored by Babel. Again, this isn't a blocker because there are some analogs for the most important settings reflected in the options we can pass to the transform. These and other caveats are detailed in the [documentation for the transform][2].
