Summary: This diffs refactors tsc projects structure and structure of our custom typings to allow producing typescript typings for "flipper" package. In next diffs I'm going to use the produced typings to check compatibility of plugins with certain versions of Flipper, e.g. to check whether plugin is compatible with current "stable" and "insiders" version.

flipper-plugin
flipper-plugin is the dependency used by all modern Flipper plugins (project "Tommy").
For background: https://fb.quip.com/YHOGAnaPqAVJ
flipper-plugin is to be used as dev and peer dependency of all Flipper plugins. It provides:
- (TODO) Standard API's to interact with Flipper, such as the client connection.
- (TODO) Standard components to organize the UI
- (TODO) Testing utilities
API's provided by flipper-plugin are documented at fbflipper.com (TODO).
There should normally be no need to install flipper-plugin as dependency.
Rather, plugins should be scaffolded using npx flipper-pkg init (TODO) as documented here
