Add a config option for generate to write .ts instead of d.ts files (so that they're copied during build)

[sahil87]

When we build our projects, the zapatos/schema.d.ts file isn't being copied over into the "build" folder.
I am referring to the output of a command like: tsc -d --outDir lib/exports --project src/exports/. (lib is our build output folder)

• In the repo containing the zapatos generated schema (Say db-schema-repo):
  👍 All good. I make the code understand the schema using /// <reference path="./zapatos/schema.d.ts" /> at the top of the main-entrypoint.ts file.

• For the repos that use db-schema-repo as a dependency via some npm repository (Say api-layer-repo):
  👎 Until zapatos 2.x things were ok, as the outputs were .ts file. Now after 3.x however, because everything except d.ts files get copied over in the lib folder, typescript check fails with error like the following:

My current workaround is to rename the schema.d.ts file to schema.ts manually. (Maybe expose this as a config option in zg.generate() ?)

Thanks for the helpful and complete report! I just tried renaming all the .d.ts files to .ts files in one of my projects, and nothing seems to break, so I agree this seems like a good candidate for a config option.

This is in master now, so should be in the next release.
