Add an ability to set a custom typescript compiler

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. There is this amazing module that lets you type check your data in runtime called typescript-is. It is super useful especially for data that comes from a third party (like an API). The module relies on a custom typescript compiler ttypescript, which is not supported by svelte-preprocess.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to have a config option (like typescript: {implementation: require('ttypescript') }). The same way you currently have an option to set sass implementation https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte-preprocess/issues/148.

Describe alternatives you've considered Right now the only way you can use ttypescript with Svelte is by using a rollup plugin in vite.config.js:

import { sveltekit } from "@sveltejs/kit/vite";
import loader from "rollup-plugin-typescript2";
import typescript from "ttypescript";

const transformer = { ...loader({ typescript }), enforce: "pre" };

/** @type {import('vite').UserConfig} */
const config = {
  plugins: [sveltekit(), transformer],
};

export default config;

BUT! That would work only for .ts files and not .svelte files!

How important is this feature to you? That would be great to have a native support for that. Right now I'm actively looking for workaround (no luck so far)... Runtime type checking is essential to my project. So, this is a blocking factor for me at the moment. I appreciate any solutions you might suggest, no matter how hacky they are.

Additional context typescript-is docs mention that transpileOnly mode will break the library. So, it would be great to also have an option to configure that. If I understand correctly since v4, svelte-preprocess doesn't type-check, which might break typescript-is (I guess). If so, an option to enable type checking back would be appreciated.
