Multiple tsconfig support for a single file

[basarat]

It is not uncommon for a single file to be used by multiple tsconfig.json files.

Two code organizations are common here:

• Sibling client and server folders
• Parent server with a child client folder

There should be a user option to select which context the user wants to work in at the moment.

This is going to require significant rework but its about time I did that 🌹

Hi, what is the best work around at the moment? Two instances of atom / project folders with two package.json files? I noticed tslint has multiple tsconfig.json files but one package.json at the top (which makes sense).

@basarat It's also worth mentioning multiple tsconfigs within the context of testing. server/server-test/client/client-test, are all valid tsconfigs. I'm sure you're working to make this as agnostic as possible, I just wanted to provide some other interesting scenarios.
