Description
We now have --init support to generating a default tsconfig.json file (see #4037). Editors would need to expose a functionality that uses this, possibly passing a set of additional defaults based on their scenario. we need to expose this as a Language Service API as well as a tsserver command. see @jrieken's comment in https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/pull/4037#issuecomment-135056980

Research direction
Start by reading the existing --init support from issue #4037 and the referenced comment on pull request #4037. Determine the Language Service API and tsserver command shapes needed to expose it, including editor-provided defaults. Done means both interfaces can generate a default tsconfig.json with the requested additional defaults.
