Proposal to add a global option for typescript_tsdk

This is somewhat related to issue 499.

Like some other users, I share user settings between machines, and the path to the global TypeScript install is different on each machine. It would be nice if I could set typescript_tsdk: global, or something similar, and the plugin would automatically look for my global install.

I'd be willing to do a pull request. It seems like you could just add another case to the initialize method in editor_client.py. It could look like this:

if tsdk_location == "global":
    # Get location of npm packages by running `npm config get prefix`
    # See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4760215/running-shell-command-from-python-and-capturing-the-output
    # From there, get path to global TypeScript install.
    # Set variables
elif tsdk_location:
    # Keep the rest the same

Thoughts?

Start by reading the initialize method in typescript/libs/editor_client.py and the related issue 499. Check how the plugin currently handles typescript_tsdk, then verify how npm config get prefix identifies the global TypeScript install. Done means a global setting resolves the install while existing explicit paths continue to work.
