Allow people to add stuff to tsconfig.json

[basarat]

I understand that tsconfig.json is read only for the typescript compiler. But whenever you guys start reading / modifying => writing tsconfig.json files would be great if you preserve additional keys. This would allow potential stuff like tslint errors to live in tsconfig.json.

Also I'm doing this : TypeStrong/atom-typescript#56

This has been the intention for the tsconfig work from the get go. It is just a json file you can extend it the way you like. This is also why the options are on a special mode:compileroptions and not just on the root. Obviously you want to have a top node as well that holds all your configurations e.g linterOptions to minimize chances of others stepping on your configurations.

@mhegazy I see you are using https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/blame/master/src/server/editorServices.ts#L262 formatCodeOptions so I will rename mine to match
