Description

TypeScript Version: 3.4.1

I had to look up https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/26873 to find what the flag was in order to use it in a --build setup as it's not documenting in --help.

Start by locating the tsc --help option definitions and compare the missing --preserveWatchOutput entry with issue #26873. Done means the flag is documented in --help with enough information for users of a --build setup to understand it.
