Edit tsconfig.json file path

[nbl7]

It is not possible to edit the default tsconfig.json file path. The following will make it possible:

diff --git a/node_modules/@nuxt/typescript-build/dist/index.js b/node_modules/@nuxt/typescript-build/dist/index.js

+            const configFile = (this.options?.typescript?.configFile !== undefined) ? this.options.typescript.configFile : path_1.default.resolve(this.options.rootDir, 'tsconfig.json');
             config.plugins.push(new ForkTsCheckerWebpackPlugin(Object.assign({
                 typescript: {

I also need this so I can specify a production only tsconfig.json file (like tsconfig.production.json) and disable its sourcemaps.

@kevinmarrec would it be possible to create a new release if we create a PR with this change?

Why were you saying that it was not possible? This code was merging module's typeCheck object with those default options so it was possible to override them. The only catch was that you had to duplicate all default options (so also the extensions object) since merge wasn't deep but that's fixed now also.

Thanks @rchl for pointing out the module is actually merging the module options to the webpack plugin configuration.
So we can already override the tsconfig path like this in module options (nuxt.config.js):

['@nuxt/typescript-build', {
   typeCheck: {
      typescript: {
         configFile: path.resolve('.', 'tsconfig.prod.json'),
      },
   },
}],

This behaviour is not documented though.
