Deprecation warnings first instead of removing method and Bug

[Stradivario]

Hello there,

I just installed latest typechain version globally and all of my build processes failed!

What is happening is that '--force' argument is deprecated.
Added some --target property for Truffle, web3, legacy

By now i was using legacy and now when i run it it says:

> typechain --target=legacy --outDir src/app/core/contracts './contracts/build/contracts/*.json'

Error occured:  ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/rampage/.nvm/versions/node/v8.9.4/lib/node_modules/typechain/dist/targets/legacy/runtime/typechain-runtime.ts'

I am sure this is not intended ?

So basically i don't have much time to waste and will downgrade typechain to older version.

Please write some CHANGELOG or somewhere inside the REPO what is changed for example it is important if you decide to remove --force to write it somewhere.Thanks

Regards,
K.T.

Also when i try to install it globally with NODE 10.^ it is not installing with the same error.

Thanks for the report. The fix was deployed as typechain@0.3.4, I also added tests that should cover it in future. I would appreciate a note if this solved your problems.

What is happening is that '--force' argument is deprecated.

Typechain 0.3.x is based on ts-generator project. I decided that having --force is not a good option since it should be default settings (and you should never commit generated files etc.). Implementing it in ts-generator would require additional work so I just skipped it. I know that it's a breaking change but very minor one and we still didnt hit 1.0 so it's expected IMO that things like this could happen.

Please write some CHANGELOG or somewhere inside the REPO what is changed for example it is important if you decide to remove --force to write it somewhere.

It's already there :) https://github.com/krzkaczor/TypeChain/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

I hope that next time updating Typechain will be a smoother process.
