TypeScript Compile Error

[seang96]

Current behavior

Building with TypeScript on a version > 2.5.1.

Describe the bug
Fail to compile due to typescript files in node-opcua-factory failing my tsconfig checks.

node_modules/node-opcua-factory/source/factories_baseobject.ts:288:29 - error TS7018: Object literal's property 'lines' implicitly has an 'any[]' type.

288                             lines: [],
                                ~~~~~~~~~

node_modules/node-opcua-factory/source/factories_baseobject.ts:306:58 - error TS7018: Object literal's property 'lines' implicitly has an 'any[]' type.

306                 const data1 = { padding: padding + "  ", lines: [] };

See issue: microsoft/TypeScript#15363

Yep, new type checked introduced by the most recent version of TypeScript 3.9.
Please use typescript 3.8 while we're fixing this in future version. this is wip

@erossignon, I attempted to compile using 3.8 and 3.7.2 both of which still have the same error.
