Enable TypeScript for every repo so it can be used in common code

[samreid]

At today's dev meeting, we agreed to enable typescript for every repo so it can be used in common code.

In slack, I said:

grunt update is set to create a *.ts string file for repos that have typescript enabled. Can I output the *.ts strings for all repos? Or do we want that to remain *.js in the majority of repos?

It seems best to keep things consistent, and I’m seeing the *.ts file can be used nicely in *.js files. So I’ll plan to go forward with *.ts string files unless/until I hear otherwise.

Sounds good to me

Here are some steps:

• Remove isRepoTypeScript
• grunt update sims
• Add phet-types.d.ts to tsconfigs
• Message the google group.
• Message the slack channel.

Add phet-types.d.ts to tsconfigs

I'm not sure that step is necessary, and not sure how to test.

@zepumph or @jonathanolson can you please review the chipper and perennial commits, and spot check 1-2 sim repo commits?

[jonathanolson]

Commits look good based on my understanding. getStringMap whitespace dependency sounds tricky, if we change how the code is formatted under chipper/dist (but looks correct for behavior right now).

Thanks, closing.
