Implementation of declaration emit

This implementation uses the the parser and printer from the TypeScript code base but replaces the binder and emit resolver with rewritten versions that do not depend on the type checker.

The declaration transform itself is mostly the same as the version in TypeScript (with some code erased and different imports)

Package scripts

• build/ watch - Build the code
• run-tests-parallel - Emits declarations using tsc and the stand alone emitter for the tests in the TypeScript code base in parallel. Outputs to tsc-tests
• run-test - Emits declarations using tsc and the stand alone emitter for the tests in the TypeScript code base on a single thread, or filtered if you specify a test name. Outputs to tsc-tests
• transform-tests-parallel - Transforms the TypeScript tests t add missing type annotations and write them to tsc-tests\updated-tests. Runs in parallel
• transform-test - Transforms the TypeScript tests t add missing type annotations and write them to tsc-tests\updated-tests. Runs on a single thread. Accepts a test name or regex filter
• run-transformed-tests-parallel - Same as run-tests-parallel but runs on the transformed tests in tsc-tests\updated-tests
• run-transformed-test- Same as run-test but runs on the transformed tests in tsc-tests\updated-tests

Note: Tests currently just output the declarations, there is no console error message. Use an external diff tool to see differences.
