Provide type coverage metrics

Suggestion

I'd love it if TypeScript had a tool to capture type coverage metrics, similar to Flow's Type Coverage feature. That coverage data could be used by IDEs (again, currently supported by Flow) to highlight gaps in type coverage. Basically, it should tell us which parts of our code are being evaluated as any.
Assuming it would work like Flow's feature, this could be a separate tsc option or separate cli command. Theirs works for single files and also offers a batch-coverage command for checking directories / whole projects, etc.

Use Cases

• The Type Coverage metric could be used much like test coverage info, helping us to identify gaps in our typing (particularly unexpected gaps caused by insufficient type definitions from library code).

Examples

Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
• This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.

首先查看 issue 中链接的 Flow Type Coverage 和 batch-coverage 文档，然后研究 TypeScript 的 tsc 选项或 CLI 命令如何公开等效指标。完成的标准是报告对于单个文件以及目录或整个项目范围的覆盖率，代码的哪些部分会被评估为 any，并提供 IDE 可使用的数据。
