Some packages define custom codecs (as in they aren't built up from the
io-tscombinators) or import them from external libraries. Currently, we define several of these in theknownImports.tsfile, but it is impossible to include all of them, or ones that are from private packages. This change adds a--codec-fileoption that'll read ajsfile's default export and add it to the hardcoded set of known imports. To avoid issues with importingfp-ts/Eitherin this config file, the default export should actually be a function that acceptsE, and returns the set of additional known codecs, like so:I'm not in love with how this works, but haven't been able to think of a better way to support custom defined codecs without needing to bring in a full typechecker to read their output types.
