Typescript add incremental compiling option before executing some CLI commands

[Bassel17]

What does it do?

• Allows the compiler.run(configPath, configOptions); function to accept new options from the arguments.
• Allows us to be able to specify what fileNames we want to compile by providing the path of the files, and allows us to extend or override compiling options.
• Add incremental compiling before executing CLI commands that need the configuration files in a typescript project : the commands are : strapi console, strapi config:dump, strapi config:restore, strapi admin:create, strapi admin:reset

Why is it needed?

Allow the users to be able to execute CLI commands and succeed just like in a javascript Strapi project

How to test it?

Run the mentioned CLI commands in a Typescript Strapi project, they should behave in the same manner as a javascript strapi project.

Nice, some suggestions

[Convly]

Could you update the jsdoc here?

[Convly]

LGTM

By the way, did you take the opportunity to check the differences in compilation time with and without the incremental option? Both for the first build & for builds following a small change

[Convly]

@Bassel17 could you update your branch with features/typescript before we can merge?

It should fix the front unit tests failing

[Bassel17]

This codecov/project seems to be failing now, which is for tests coverage, what shall we do with that ? @Convly

That's fine for this one, no need to worry about it. Thanks for the update!
