Add global types recognition for advanced developers

[jtenner]

When dealing with adding global types for end users, as-pect and cli tools have always relied on adding something like this to an end user's project:

/// <reference path="../path/to/types.d.ts" />

I instead propose standardizing recognizing types that follow the ../node_modules/**/assembly/global.d.ts pattern out of the box. This of course is not a perfect solution, and I am amenable to other solutions in the same vein as this one, however, this one seems like the simplest way to fix a long standing problem for cli developers using the compiler programmatically.

Is cli/tsconfig.json the right file for this change? A typical project would have an assembly/tsconfig.json extended from assemblyscript/std/assembly.json as per what asinit generates.

Did I change the correct file? I'm sorry if it was wrong. I would love some help.

[dcodeIO]

It could be that the correct file is the one asinit generates. Iirc, as soon as the earliest tsconfig has an include entry, it overrides what's in the extended base file, not add to it - but not 100% sure. Could you test? :)
